Pressure Cooker Chicken Noodle Soup
I love chicken noodle soup and loved that Julia makes this in her pressure cooker! As you know, I’m a recent fan of the pressure cooker! I love it so much and you can’t beat how fast the pressure cooker helps you get dinner on the table and the food is absolutely amazing!
“Ian and I make chicken noodle soup all year long—it’s our number one comfort food. Ian has his own recipe (and it’s delicious) but I prefer to use the pressure cooker because it’s easy, it’s fast, and the flavor of the broth has an intense but clean chicken flavor. I grew up around pressure cookers and I still remember that metronome-like beat that the indicator made as it rocked back and forth with puffs of steam. Those old-school pots were fun to watch but my mother and I love the newer, sleeker versions (stovetop, not electric) with their easy-to-read indicators and straightforward quick-release valves. I always use organic chicken when making this soup because I think it has a better flavor. – Julia”
This pressure cooker chicken noodle soup is seriously so delicious! I will be making this all winter long for my family! I hope you give this recipe a try!
Pressure Cooker Chicken Noodle Soup
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 onion chopped fine
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme or 1/4 teaspoon dried
- 4 carrots peeled and sliced 1/2 inch thick
- 2 celery ribs sliced 1/2 inch thick
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 3 to 4 pound whole chicken, giblets discarded
- Salt and pepper
- 6 to 8 cups water
- 4 ounces wide egg noodles
- 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
Instructions
- Heat oil in pressure-cooker pot over medium heat until shimmering. Add onions and cook until softened, for about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and thyme and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the carrots, celery, and soy sauce, scraping up any browned bits. Season chicken generously with salt and pepper and place breast side up in pot. Pour in the water. Your chicken should mostly be covered with the water. Be careful not to overfill your pressure cooker (there should be a line inside that indicates how high you can go!).
- Lock pressure cooker lid in place and bring to high pressure over medium-high heat. Cook on high pressure for 20 minutes.
- Use the quick-release pressure and then carefully remove lid, allowing steam to escape away from you.
- Transfer chicken to carving board and let cool slightly. Using 2 forks, shred chicken into bite-size pieces, discarding skin and bones. Meanwhile, using large spoon, skim excess fat from surface of soup if necessary. Bring soup to boil, stir in noodles, and cook until tender, for about 5 minutes. Stir in shredded chicken and parsley, season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve.
