Chicken noodle soup is a staple in my house. It’s easy, cheap, yummy, and healthy! Using a whole chicken allows for the benefits of bone broth with that classic chicken broth taste. You can use noodles in your dish or you can keep this keto/gluten-free by removing the noodles! The Instant Pot is a no fear cooking appliance – you get the flavor of a few hours over the stove in just 1 hour and it’s simple to use (30 minutes to build pressure, 30 to cook on high pressure)! The vegetables used in this dish are what we always have in the house, if you don’t have one, don’t worry about it – add in whatever you have!
I like to only make my chicken noodle soup fresh – I always have the broth handy because it’s so easy to make a yummy soup! I take out the broth I need for fresh soup each day. I also find that if I cook it fresh, the noodles don’t become mushy.
