Noodle lovers will love this version of chicken noodle soup because it is PACKED with noodles. (They’re the best part of chicken noodle soup, wouldn’t you agree?) But if you’re looking for a lighter soup, feel free to add fewer noodles. The soup will still be delicious!

This chicken noodle soup is also made in the Instant Pot, which means it’s super easy to make. Simply throw all of the ingredients into the pot and let it do its thing. In no time at all, you’ll have a nourishing and comforting meal that the whole family will love.

Let’s take a look at how to make this chicken noodle soup recipe, shall we?

  • Olive oil
  • Chicken broth
  • Water
  • Carrot
  • Celery
  • Dried parsley
  • Minced onion
  • Garlic powder
  • Wide egg noodles

Ingredients to make Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup.

👩🏻‍🍳 Instructions

Cut chicken into ½-inch cubes. Cut celery stalks into ⅛-inch pieces. Dice carrots or cut them into ¼-inch rounds.

Set Instant Pot to the Saute setting and drizzle olive oil in the pot. Add the chicken and cook until the chicken is heated all through.

Stir the soup and ladle into bowls. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

📖 Kitchen Notes

  • A 12-ounce bag of noodles will fill the pot and will result in a hearty soup. If you prefer a soup on the lighter side, only use half a bag.
  • You can substitute broken linguine or fettuccini noodles for egg noodles.
  • To save time, you can use precooked chicken. Simply add the chicken along with the remaining ingredients, pressure cook the soup for 8 minutes, and perform a quick release.
  • Don’t worry too much about making sure the chicken is fully cooked. If it is not fully cooked during the first step, it will finish cooking in the pressure cooker.
  • You can omit the water and use 6 cups of chicken broth. You may use chicken stock in place of the broth for extra flavor.
  • Because of the volume of this soup, it will take a while for the Instant Pot to build up enough pressure to cook the soup.

💬 Frequently Asked Questions

How long can you store chicken noodle soup?

This soup will store up to four days in the refrigerator in an airtight container.

Can you freeze soup?

Yes. Once the soup has cooled, place it in a plastic Ziplock bag, remove the air, date the bag, and seal it. For best results, use within 3 months. To reheat, remove the frozen soup from the Ziplock bag and place it in a large stock pot. Reheat over medium heat until the soup is warm all the way through.
