The Instant Pot has become a staple in my house. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve realized we need to have dinner ready in less than an hour and I didn’t even know what I was cooking. The Instant Pot has saved me so many times! What I love the most is that I can put all the ingredients in the pot and end up with a tasty meal in a very short time.
This year our winter started very mild but as it’s getting colder I am making more and more soups, creams and using lots of broth. There’s something about a warm soup on a cool winter day…
A staple in my house is chicken noodle soup because my girls love chicken and noddles. Plus it’s so easy to make and it only takes about 15 minutes from start to finish – can’t beat that!
Recently all of us got a cold and I didn’t feel like cooking so this recipe was a life saver. We ate chicken noodle soup for 2 days. I knew once we got over our cold that I had to share this recipe with you because who doesn’t love chicken noodle soup?
Plus I know if someone in your family starts feeling a little sick you’ll be ready happy that you can have this soup ready in a matter of minutes, even more so if you’re the one sick because unfortunately, us moms, don’t really get a “sick leave”.
So, here it is – one of our favorites recipes!

Arrange chicken in Instant Pot. Cover with chicken broth. If you are using regular egg noodles, you can also toss noodles into the Instant Pot at this time. Gluten free noodles must be cooked on stove top.
Lock lid in place and close pressure valve. Cook on high pressure for 7 minutes using the Poultry setting. Manually depressurize by carefully turning steam valve. If using gluten free noodles, now is the time to cook them.
