- Bay Leaves – Adds a slight minty flavor to your soup that will make it feel lighter.
- Thyme – An easy way to make almost any soup taste better!
- Pepper – While the Chicken Broth will add the needed salt to this soup, it will still taste so much better with some fresh ground pepper too!

Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup
Ingredients
- 8 cups Swanson Chicken Broth, (64 oz.)
- 3 cups cooked Rotisserie Chicken, shredded, (use thigh and drumstick meat for flavor)
- 1/3 pound Linguine Noodles, broken into quarters (approx. 5 oz.)
- 1 cup finely chopped Yellow Onion, (about 1 medium onion)
- 1 cup peeled and thinly sliced Carrots, (about 3 medium carrots)
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced Celery, (about 1.5 stalks)
- 3 Bay Leaves
- 2 Tbsp Cooking Oil, (I used Avocado Oil)
- 1/2 tsp dried Thyme Leaves
- 1 tsp fresh ground Black Pepper
- optional: add Salt to taste
Instructions
- Gather your ingredients.
- Add oil to Instant Pot, set to 'Saute' mode, then add Onion, Carrots and Celery, and saute for 3 – 5 minutes or until onions look translucent.
- Once onions are done, cancel Saute setting.
- Add to Instant Pot the Chicken Broth, Shredded Chicken, Bay Leaves, Thyme, Pepper and broken Noodles.
- Make sure to fully submerge your noodles in the broth.
- Place lid on pot and select Pressure Cook, High Pressure and change cook time to 7 minutes.
- Preheat will begin 10 seconds after settings have been selected.
- Once cook time has completed, quick release pressure before removing lid. (I suggest a gradual quick release for less splatter and mess)
- Allow soup to cool for 5 minutes, remove 3 bay leaves, then stir and serve!
Notes
- Time To Reach Pressure: It will take approx. 18 – 20 minutes for Instant Pot to reach pressure before your selected cook time begins. This is in addition to the 7 minute cook time you have selected.
- Crock Pot Pressure Cooker Instructions: If using a Crock Pot Pressure Cooker, select the “Beans/Chili” setting to manually override cook time and pressure settings.
- FAQ’s: For answers to Frequently Asked Questions or tips for common substitutions and variations, please refer to the detailed information above this recipe card.

Nothing beats chicken noodle soup when it’s cold outside! I just made chicken tortilla last night so maybe this is next!
