Ingredients for Instant Pot Chicken Soup
Here’s what you’ll need to make the best Instant Pot Chicken Soup from scratch:
- Onion
- Celery
- Garlic
- Carrots
- Chicken (bone-in, skin-on)
- Bay leaves
- Low-sodium chicken stock
- Gluten-free egg noodles
- Green onions
- Parsley
Tips and tricks for the best Instant Pot Chicken Soup Recipe
- When you sauté onions and celery, I like the onions to get a translucent golden color. It will almost cook off by the time the soup is done, while providing a beautiful aroma.
- Sauté the garlic quickly, just 1 minute, so it won’t burn. This will give you a delicious fragrance.
- The best chicken cut for this soup is split chicken breast with skin-on and bone-in. It will make your broth rich and flavorful.
- I prefer to use Homemade Chicken Stock. It’s so much healthier and more delicious!
- The best part of the soup (in my opinion) are green onions and parsley. The more you put, the better!
How to make Instant Pot Chicken Soup
We need to start with sautéing the vegetables.
Set Instant Pot to “Sauté” and add olive oil.
Then add chopped onion and celery and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until they get softer.
Add minced garlic and chopped carrots, and sauté for about a minute.
Place split chicken breasts (skin-side down) and bay leaves on top. Pour in chicken stock and water.
Cover with a lid and cook on manual high pressure for 20 minutes. Make sure that the venting knob is turned to “Sealing”!
When it is done, let it naturally release the pressure for 10 minutes. Then switch the knob to venting position and release the steam. Make sure the steam is fully released and the valve is completely down before opening the pot!
Remove the chicken and bay leaves. You can discard the bay leaves. For the chicken, put it on a cutting board, separate the meat from the bones and shred it with a fork.
Set Instant Pot to “Sauté” again and bring the liquid to boil. As soon as it starts boiling, add gluten-free egg noodles and stir. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the noodles are cooked.
Here you can season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.
Add the shredded chicken meat back to the soup.
When the noodles are almost done, add green onions and parsley. Stir and let it cook for another minute.
