Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup

My kids loved this chicken noodle soup and it was so quick and easy to make! My pastor’s wife sent it to me and she was one of the first to introduce me to the instant pot.

Here’s what I did:

1)   Chopped all ingredients (chicken, carrots, celery, onion)

2)   Season chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder

3)   Heat olive oil and sautéed chicken cubes.

4)   Put all other ingredients in instant pot and cooked for 7 min. Set a timer to start cooking at 10 AM, and then opened it at 11 AM.

Instructions

1.   Add a dash of pepper to the cubed chicken.

2.   Melt butter in the pressure cooker.

3.   Next, lightly brown cubed chicken in the pressure cooker for about 1 minute. 30 seconds on each side. Then turned off the pressure cooker.

4.   Add celery, carrots, thyme, sea salt, fresh ground pepper, uncooked noodles and broth mixture.

5.   Close the lid and turn pressure cooker on and cook for 7 minutes.

6.   Once finished open the quick release of the pressure cooker.

7.   You can also do a natural release, but this takes an addition 10-12 minutes before the lid will be ready to open. NOTE: I typically do a quick release with anything noodles and a natural release with roasts and large meat items.

8.   Serve and Enjoy.
