Commonly asked questions:

What is an Instant Pot:

An IP is a multi-cooker, but I mostly use it as a pressure cooker. It does the job of a slow cooker, pressure cooker, rice cooker, steamer, yogurt maker, etc.

I don’t have an Instant Pot, can I still make this soup:

Yes you can! You can see how we made a very similar one HERE in the Slow Cooker. We also have a creamy Chicken Noodle Soup you can find HERE.

Can I use boneless skinless chicken breast:

Yes, of course but cooking the chicken with the skin and bones will give you a deeper more delicious broth.

Can I use chicken drumsticks or thighs:

Yes, you can. Any part of the chicken can be used, as long as you have enough chicken meat to add to the soup after you shred it.

Can I use frozen chicken:

Yes, you can. The time can vary depending on how big your chicken pieces are but I would start with 20-25 minutes if they are thicker breasts.

Cook just the chicken and the chicken broth. The last 5 minutes add the noodles, spices and the vegetables.

Can I use thawed chicken:

Yes Yes. Cook just the chicken and the broth together for 15-20 minutes. When there is 5 minutes left, do a quick release, and add the vegetables, spices and noodles. Cook on manual for 5 minutes.

Do I have to use Chicken Broth?

You can replace it with water, but I suggest using chicken broth or vegetable broth. But, it would still taste okay if you were cooking your thawed or frozen chicken in the instant pot first instead of canned.

WHAT KIND OF NOODLES ARE BEST FOR CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP?

We personally enjoy using egg noodles in our chicken noodle soup, however that is totally optional. You can eat whatever noodles you have on hand with your soup.

We recommend picking noodles that you can pick up with a spoon. Spaghetti noodles or angel hair noodles, would be a little more difficult to scoop up because they are so long.

Little noodles like pipette, macaroni, elbow, bowtie, etc., are great noodles for chicken noodle soup. They are easy to scoop up, and you can get a little bit of everything, all in one bite. Not just noodles or chicken, but everything the soup has in it.

Questions & Reviews

Sharon in Arizona says:

This was better (and much faster) than my almost all day chicken soup. THANKS so much for this recipe. The Instant Pot has been my friend for almost 4 years and enjoy discovering new recipes.

Finula says:

Just delicious, unfortunately used wrong noodles which expanded in the heat but was able to remove them and was left with a perfect chicken soup in my regular saucepan. Next time I will use egg noodles as recipe suggests, I have learned my lesson. Thanks for grea5 recipes.

Bertha Glen says:

Nice recipe but I'd suggest if u want it to taste like the soup made by generations of grammas add a pigs foot, use cheap cuts of skin covered chicken with bones and add bay leaves in and the chicken broth and do the first cooking. Then strain and use this stronger tasting broth and follow the six sisters instructions to make ur soup It's nice to have the instant pot and these excellent recipes to make an old fashion soup that used to take 12 hours to cook

Chris says:

This is the 3rd recipe I've tried from SSS since Kristen's YT videos convinced me to purchase an IP 2 weeks ago. First time cooking this recipe and it turned out "ok" - the egg noodles came out quite soggy/mushy. Would this be from cooking to long? I cooked the raw chicken / broth for 15 minutes, quick released and put noodles, spices, and veggies in for 5 minutes. I didn't hear the timer and left it in for an extra 6 minutes before i quick released. Would that affect the noodles? Thank you SSS for the great recipes!

Cyd says:

This needed a quick release after 5 minutes. So your noodles were mushy from cooking that extra 6 minutes.

Josie says:

Like what I read

Kathy Savage says:

I would like to start getting your recipes. I have just got an instant pot and feel I am not using it enough. Thank you for your time.

Cyd says:

Courtney Pies says:

I made this yesterday and it was absolutely delicious! I'm so excited to try more of your Instant Pot recipes and to get your cookbook in the mail!

Shawna K says:

I have taught all my kids to cook and it has served them so well, now I'm down to my last little guy and he is just starting. He choose chicken noodle soup so I searched up this recipe so he would have one to follow, rather than making by memory. He had a great time peeling the carrots, chopping the celery and stirring. We used canned chicken for ease and he chopped it up into small bit too. I used Knor chicken bullion instead of broth, so he was able to measure the water and then the granules as well. Thanks for helping making cooking so easy!!

Momma Cyd says:

We love this! You are doing great things teaching your kids how to cook!!
