Ingredients

1 yellow or white onion diced
3 celery stalks chopped
2 cups carrots chopped
3 garlic cloves chopped
½ teaspoon turmeric powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon chicken base I use Better Than Bouillon Brand
12 oz frozen egg noodles I use Reames
1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts about 2 chicken breasts - quartered
2 quarts chicken stock or broth
1 Tbsp all purpose flour
1 Tbsp salted butter softened

Instructions

Dump all these ingredients in this order into your Instant Pot:
Cut veggies (3 celery stalks, 2 cups carrots, 1 onion, 3 garlic cloves)
Seasonings (½ teaspoon each: turmeric, onion powder, and black pepper, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 bay leaf)
1 tablespoon Chicken base
Then add:
12 oz bag frozen egg noodles
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, each cut into quarters
Finally pour the 2 quarts chicken broth over top.
Pop the lid on and set the Instant Pot or Electric Pressure Cooker to cook on pressure mode, high for 8 minutes.
Do a 5 minute natural release and then quick release the remaining pressure.
The quick release of pressure may take a while!
Remove the bay leaf and discard. Take the chicken out and shred or dice it. Set to the side.
Turn the pot onto saute mode (medium or high) to simmer the soup.
In a small bowl with a fork mash the softened butter and flour together until it combines.
1 tablespoon all purpose flour, 1 tablespoon salted butter
Stir the flour/butter mixture into the soup, this will slightly thicken the soup broth.
Turn the saute mode off and stir the chicken into the soup.
Let cool for about 15 minutes, then serve!
