Why This Soup Is So Good
The Instant Pot makes this recipe a total breeze. It has all the comfort and goodness of a soup that’s simmered on the stove all day, but it goes from fridge to table in roughly an hour. It’s really super easy to make and is TOTALLY homemade! Since it’s homemade, it’s cost effective, and you can load it with as much flavor as you like. This soup is super nourishing, thanks to the natural bone broth made from cooking the whole chicken in the soup itself. It’s everything you could ever want when you or a loved one is feeling under the weather. It’s SO easy to adjust this soup for different dietary needs! For a gluten free chicken noodle soup, just use gluten free noodles. For paleo or low carb, use zoodles instead of pasta.
Key Ingredients
Chicken – A whole chicken is the key to a soup that’s packed with vitamins and nutrients, which your body needs any time, but especially if you’re not feeling well. Because the chicken cooks with the aromatics in water, it produces an extremely rich broth and tender chicken in a single step. After that, you simply shred the chicken and add it back to the soup, while the noodles soften to perfection. Spoon up a big bowl and get well, my friend!Noodles – What’s chicken noodle soup without noodles?! Fusilli is one of my favorite pastas – it’s got that great spiral that’s just fun to eat. You can use any pasta you like best, though. Egg noodles would be great here!
Chef’s Tips
If you can, use organic chicken that hasn’t been raised on antibiotics. If you’re using zoodles, completely skip the pasta steps in the instructions. You’ll want to add them right when you serve the soup. Portion them into the bowl first, then ladle the soup on top. Any leftovers can be stored in the fridge up to 4 days, as long as you keep them in an airtight container. Reheat the Instant Pot chicken noodle soup on the stovetop or in the microwave. If you don’t have an Instant Pot, you can make this Instant Pot chicken noodle soup in a slow cooker or on the stovetop! We’ve included instructions for both in the recipe card notes below.
