Easy Chicken Noodle Soup-Made in the Instant Pot

Easy meals that are delicious and can be frozen or last a few days have become part of how I choose meals these days.

Last night I made homemade chicken noodle soup in the Instant Pot that was delicious!! Between prep and the soup in the bowl it took less than an hour!

Ingredients:

• 3 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 3 bay leaves
• 1 tsp parsley
• 1 tbsp salt (add more to liking)
• 1 tsp pepper
• 1 tsp oregano
• 1 tsp basil
• 5 tbsp butter
• 2 cups sliced celery
• 2.5 cups sliced carrot
• 2 cups diced onion
• 12 cups chicken broth
• 4 cups wide egg noodles

Directions:

1. Cut all carrots and celery, dice onion and place in a bowl.
2. Turn on instant pot to sauté, when it is heated place butter and veggies in and heat until onions become clear in color.
3. Add the oregano, salt, pepper, basil and bay leaves to the pot.
4. Add the chicken stock, and chicken breasts to pot and stir to combine ingredients.
5. Place and lock lid on pot, push manual cook to high pressure and set timer for 9 minutes.
6. Once timer goes off, carefully release pressure from instant pot and open lid away from you as to avoid burn from any lingering steam.
7. Pull the chicken out of pot and shred.
8. Put chicken back into the pot and add 4 cups of wide egg noodles.
9. Stir everything together, place lid back on pot and push the steam valve to close. Leave everything to sit for fifteen minutes.
10. Remove lid and check pasta, to ensure it is el dente.
11. Dish up soup and enjoy!
