Why Use The Pressure Cooker
Pressure cooking in the Instant Pot reduces the cooking time a fair amount. Using an electric one also allows you to leave the pot unattended while it cooks. The cooker will even switch to a Keep Warm setting once cooking has finished so you dont have to worry about turning off the cooker right away when the soup is done.

Slow Cooker Or Instant Pot
I love the simplicity of making chicken noodle soup in the slow cooker. You add everything, stir, and let it cook. Yes, the noodles are added later but they dont take long to cook. I still consider this chicken noodle soup a good set-it-and-forget-it slow cooker recipe. Of course if youre crunched for time, you can make this in your Instant Pot too. Having made it both ways, I can honestly say that I dont have a preference when it comes to taste. I think it depends more on convenience or which appliance you have/prefer to use. With the Instant Pot, its a little more work because you sauté the vegetables first, but its still easy to make.

How To Cook Chicken From Frozen In The Instant Pot
Cooking times are based on 1-2 pounds of frozen medium-sized boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
We found frozen chicken breasts are at a safe cooking temperature at 15-20 minutes using a quick release method. We always use the manual function . When cooking food from frozen in the Instant Pot, we recommend starting at the shorter end of the time range and then adding more minutes if its not done.
The only variation to this cooking time is when chicken is in a soup. We found that because it takes so much longer for the Instant Pot to come to pressure, the chicken takes LESS time to cook. Likely 5-6 minutes. It feels a bit counter intuitive since there is more in the pot when cooking a soup recipe but we consistently found that chicken was done quicker this way.

and slice them up and then divide them into 1/3 and 2/3rd groups.
Take the smaller, 1/3 group and finely chop it up
while reserving the larger, sliced 2/3rds for later.

Why Make Chicken Noodle Soup In The Instant Pot
Over the last handful of years, Ive come to learn the art of making flavorful, delicious soup.
A flavorful soup begins with a veggie medley added to a perfectly hot pot with some melted butter. The flavors are sautéed together to create the building blocks for a delicious soup. This is why the sauté feature on the Instant Pot sold me. Sure, I was intrigued by friends making meals in minutes versus hours, but Ill admit that I was skeptical on how the flavor would turn out. When I learned that I could still layer my flavors and make a fast meal, I was sold.
As much as I truly adore cooking, there are those days or stretches of weeks where projects are due and I just dont have the time to be standing by the stove all day. My Instant Pot has made it possible to still put nourishing, real food on the table despite crazy schedules. Todays recipe uses the Instant Pot to make a nourishing meal in under 15 minutes, from start to finish.

Are you ready to give this easy Instant Pot chicken soup recipe a try?
This is what I call a dump recipe. There is no need to use the fancy sauté button. I literally dump all of the ingredients into my Instant Pot. I use an 8 Qt Instant Pot, which I think you need for this homemade chicken soup recipe.
Step 1: Add your chicken, vegetables, and seasoning to the Instant Pot. Don’t forget to remove the giblets bag!
Step 2: Add in the combination of chicken broth and water. Take note of the fill line!! You do not want to overfill your Instant Pot!!
Step 3: Seal your Instant Pot and set it to Soup/Broth. Add extra time if needed on your model so this soup cooks for 40 minutes. Allow the Instant Pot to depressurize, or use the quick release feature if your model has it.
Step 4: Check the internal temperature to make sure your chicken is at 165º F.
What Ingredients Will I Need For Instant Pot Chicken Soup

Chicken Noodle Soup In The Instant Pot
When youre sick whats the only thing you want? Chicken noodle soup. Okay and if youre me maybe some ice cream to wash it down.
But really homemade chicken noodle soup is one of my go-to dinners and not just for sick days.
Its so nice to sit down to a big bowl of this after a long day.
Plus I love that my whole family loves chicken noodle soup so I make it a lot. I dont get the Mom, how many more bites 30 seconds after weve sate down to eat.
My kids actually even request it for dinner.
And we love it with some fresh toasted and buttered sourdough bread. Bread and soup just go hand in hand dont they?
What Goes Into Italian
- Aromatics for flavor: The first step to making this soup is to sauté a combination of onion, garlic, carrot, and celery. This combination gives you a base layer of flavor to build on with the other ingredients.
- The chicken: We like to use skinless, bone-in chicken thighs to make this soup. The bones are important for developing flavor and removing the skin cuts down on fat. When you make chicken soup on top of the stove you have an opportunity to skim off fat as the soup simmers, but since this wont be possible with the Instant Pot, eliminating the extra fat from the skin is key.
- The vegetables: Diced tomatoes and healthy greens like escarole or spinach are added halfway through the pasta cooking time, lending both extra flavor and nutritional value to the soup. We favor escarole because its a classic Italian ingredient and it holds up a bit better in the soup than more delicate greens like spinach.
- The pasta: Ditalini is the perfect cut of pasta for this soup. Its a small cut and cooks in the broth while you shred the chicken. You could also use elbows or mini shells.
