How to Make Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup

Start by using the Saute function of the Instant Pot to saute the onions and veggies. One of the greatest features of the Instant Pot is that it is truly a one-pot wonder. You can saute veggies and brown meat right in the pot.

Then add the whole chicken to the pot. Mine was about five pounds. Make sure you have removed any giblets.

Add 8 cups of water, soy sauce, salt and pepper. The soy sauce is the secret ingredient to this rich and flavorful chicken broth. You can't taste the soy sauce, but it enhances the meaty flavor of the broth. Lock the lid in place and set the Instant Pot to High Pressure for 20 minutes.

The Instant Pot will take 15-20 minutes to come to pressure, then it will start the count down from 20 minutes. After the countdown is complete and the Instant Pot switches to keep warm function, Quick Release the pressure and carefully remove the lid once all the pressure is released. Remove the chicken and set aside to shred.

Turn the Instant Pot back to Saute and let the chicken broth come to a simmer. Add in the noodles and let it simmer for about 5 minutes. While the noodles are cooking, shred the chicken. Once the noodles are tender, add the chicken meat back to the Instant Pot and stir in the parsley. The soup will be very hot, so be careful when serving.
