Notes

Homemade Chicken Stock vs Store-Bought Chicken Stock: We tried this recipe with both stocks. Best to use homemade chicken stock for a boost in flavor. If you're using store-bought chicken stock, be sure to use an unsalted or low sodium version.
Cooking Noodles on Stovetop: If you want to save time, you can cook the noodles on the stovetop while the chicken is pressure cooking in Instant Pot. First, bring 4 – 5 cups unsalted chicken stock to a boil on the stovetop over medium-high heat, then cook the noodles until desired texture.

instant pot chicken noodle soup | chicken noodle soup in instant pot | pressure cooker chicken noodle soup #AmyJacky #InstantPot #PressureCooker #chicken #soup #recipe
Can I substitute homemade chicken stock with store-bought chicken stock?

We tried this chicken noodle soup recipe with both stocks. It’s definitely best to use homemade chicken stock (if available) for a boost in flavor. If you’re using store-bought chicken stock, be sure to use an unsalted or low sodium version.

Can I use a whole chicken breast?

Yes! To kick our chicken noodle soup up a notch, we used a whole chicken breast. We cut the breast in half and removed the bones, then added the bones for even more chicken flavors! Or you can throw in a few chicken bones you have in the freezer 🙂

Can I cook the noodles on stovetop?

Yes! You can reduce ~12 minutes overall cooking time by cooking the wide egg noodles on the stovetop instead of the Instant Pot. First, bring 4 – 5 cups of unsalted chicken stock to a boil, then cook the noodles in boiling chicken stock. You can cook the noodles while the chicken is pressure cooking in the Instant Pot.
