1/3poundLinguine Noodlesbroken into quarters (approx. 5 oz.)
1cupfinely chopped Yellow Onion(about 1 medium onion)
1cuppeeled and thinly sliced Carrots(about 3 medium carrots)
1/2cupthinly sliced Celery(about 1.5 stalks)
3Bay Leaves
2TbspCooking Oil(I used Avocado Oil)
1/2tspdried Thyme Leaves
1tspfresh ground Black Pepper
optional: add Salt to taste
Instructions
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
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.
If using a Crock Pot Pressure Cooker, select the "Beans/Chili" setting to manually override cook time and pressure settings.
