    Chicken Noodle SOup in the Instant Pot and dished into a bowl - pinterest text
    Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup Pin Image

    Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup is an incredibly easy soup recipe. It is literally a dump and start recipe- no sauteing, no browning, or searing. Pop all the ingredients in the Instant Pot or Electric Pressure Cooker and start it up. With an 8 minute cook time it is ready in under 30 minutes!

    This Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup recipe is full tender carrots, celery, and onions mixed in an intensely flavored chicken broth seasoned with chicken base, turmeric, onions powder and a bay leaf. The chicken poaches perfectly in the broth and the frozen egg noodles cook up thick & hearty with just the right bite.

    This is an intensely flavored soup recipe! It will be your new go-to Instant Pot Chicken Soup recipe. (No Instant Pot- not a problem! Check out these recipes here.)

    Dump & Start Instant Pot Recipe

    Have you ever heard of “dump and start” instant pot recipes? They make dinner time super easy. It means that you are not having to saute, brown, or sear anything before you start cooking.

    In this chicken noodle soup recipe you simply chop the veggies and then layer everything in the pot and start it up!

    Chicken Base

    The secret to getting really amazing flavor into the broth of this chicken noodle soup is chicken base. If you are not familiar with this product it is similar to bouillon but twice as potent!

    It comes in a paste form, usually in a glass or plastic jar. You can find it in the soup aisle in your local grocery store. I use the Better Than Bouillon brand.

    Do not skip this ingredient! It makes a huge flavor difference.

    How to Make Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup

    Since this is a “dump and start” Instant Pot recipe the only prep is in chopping the veggies and cutting the chicken. The rest of the work is done by pressure cooking. Let’s get started:

    Layer these ingredients in your Instant Pot or Electric Pressure Cooker in this order:

    • All the cut veggies: onions, carrots, celery, and garlic. It is ok if they are all mixed together.
    Step 1: celery, carrots, onions, and garlic chopped and placed in the Instant Pot
    • All the seasonings: turmeric, onion powder, salt, pepper, chicken base, and a bay leaf.
    Step 2: chicken noodle soup seasonings placed on top of the chopped veggies
    • Add a 12 oz bag of frozen egg noodles. I use Reames Frozen Egg Noodles.
    Step 3: pour in a 12 oz bag of frozen egg noodles
    • Lay the quartered chicken breasts on top of the egg noodles.
    Step 4: Lay the quartered chicken breasts on top of the noodles
    • Pour in 2 quarts of chicken stock or broth.
    Step 5: Pour in 2 quarts of chicken stock or broth
    • Pop the lid on the pot and lock the pressure vent to seal. Set to cook on high pressure for 8 minutes.
    • Do a 5 minute natural release, and then release the remaining pressure with a quick release.
    • Take out the 8 pieces of chicken and chop or shred (they will be yellow on the outside from the turmeric). Add back to the pot.

        Traditional noodles will turn into mush if you put them in the pot for that long. I would make the soup without the noodles and then add them after the pressure cook. Turn the sauté mode on and let them simmer in the hot soup for about 5 minutes.
        The frozen egg noodles also add a little starch to thicken the soup a little. To get this consistency you can mash together 2 tsp flour and 2 tsp softened butter (called a beurre manie) and stir it into the soup after the noodles cook.
        I hope this works for you! Cheers

      This was fantastic! It is so versatile. I made it with the turmeric once and my husband did not care for the flavor. The second time I made it without and he liked it much better. If I don’t have celery, or onions on hand, I sub celery salt, up the onion powder, and have even used a drained can of sliced carrots in a pinch. I just add them at the end as they are already cooked. The flavor is just perfect. So simple and soooo good. Thank you!!!
