This recipe is versatile. For heat, add diced jalapeños or a pinch of red pepper flakes. If you prefer a classic chicken-and-noodle soup, stir in your favorite noodles after cooking.
To add noodles: after shredding the chicken, switch the Instant Pot to Sauté and boil the noodles for 6–8 minutes or until tender.
You can also make homemade chicken stock in the Instant Pot. Add chicken bones, vegetables, salt, pepper and a bay leaf, cover with water and cook on high pressure for 90 minutes. Strain and refrigerate or freeze the broth for later use.
When cold weather sets in or you need something soothing and quick, try this easy Instant Pot chicken soup.
