Step-by-Step Guide: Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup

Prepare Ingredients for cooking chicken noodle soup in Instant Pot:

Tools for Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup

• Instant Pot Electric Pressure Cooker
• Wooden Spoon
• Pyrex Measuring Cups
• Mixing Bowl

Sauté Mushrooms, Onions & Garlic

First, heat up Instant Pot (press Sauté button to Sauté More function), then wait until Instant Pot’s indicator says “HOT”.

Then, pour 1 tbsp (15ml) olive oil in Instant Pot Pressure Cooker.

Add chopped white mushrooms, a pinch of kosher salt and ground black pepper in Instant Pot, then stir to evenly coat the mushrooms with olive oil.

Now, let the mushrooms’ moisture evaporate as you occasionally stir until mushrooms are slightly crisp and browned.

Add diced onions & minced garlic in Instant Pot, then cook until onions soften and fragrant (roughly 1 – 2 minutes).

Add bay leaf, chopped carrots and celery in Instant Pot, then stir and season with kosher salt and ground black pepper if you like.

Deglaze Instant Pot

First, pour ⅓ cup (80ml) unsalted chicken stock in Instant Pot, then scrub all the flavorful brown bits off the bottom with a wooden spoon.

Then, pour in the remaining ⅔ cup (170ml) chicken stock.

Pressure Cook Chicken

Now, partially submerge the chicken in Instant Pot’s liquid.

With Venting Knob in Venting Position, close the lid, then turn Venting Knob to Sealing Position.

Pressure Cooking Methods:

• For Chicken Breasts: Pressure Cook at High Pressure for 7 minutes + 8 minutes Natural Release.
• For Chicken Drumsticks: Pressure Cook at High Pressure for 8 minutes + 10 minutes Natural Release.

*Optional Cooking Noodles on Stovetop Tip: 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.

Make Chicken Soup

Now, carefully open the lid, and remove bay leaf and chicken.

Then, use a fork to shred the pressure cooked chicken.

Pour 4 – 5 cups (1L – 1.25L) unsalted chicken stock in Instant Pot, then bring it to a boil using the Sauté More function.

Cook Noodles & Season

Now, you can pour in the wide egg noodles and cook until desired texture (roughly 4 – 8 minutes).

Taste & season the chicken soup with kosher salt (~a few pinches) and ground black pepper.

You can also brighten the chicken noodle soup in Instant Pot with freshly squeezed lemon juice to taste (~1 tbsp or 15ml).

Serve Chicken Noodle Soup

Finally, time to add back the shredded chicken into the noodle soup.

Then, garnish chicken noodle soup with Italian parsley.

Serve immediately & enjoy your delicious homemade chicken noodle soup!
