Ever have a hankering for your mother’s homemade chicken noodle soup but don’t want to spend all day simmering it over the stove top, or even waiting for it to slow cook in the crock pot?

Enter the Instant Pot®.

In just 30 minutes start to finish, you can enjoy the comfort of being a kid again with this savory soup, and bonus, there’s only one pot to clean up!

The beauty of the Instant Pot is that you can sauté the onions first. (In my opinion, raw onions can really mess up a good dish, so this is a big win.) Then you can cook the chicken and veggies to perfection. And lastly, when you add the noodles, you can boil them without overcooking them and turning them into a slimy water-logged mess.

Follow me as I break down the recipe and show you how super simple and delicious cooking chicken noodle soup in your Instant Pot can be.
