There’s nothing more comforting than a bowl of homemade chicken noodle soup… and it doesn’t get any easier than this Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup!
I know I’ve been on a roll with pressure cooker recipes lately, but I’m just so in love with my Instant Pot. I promise I have non-Instant Pot recipes up my sleeve coming your way, but for now… let’s talk about this chicken noodle soup! 
Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup
It really doesn’t get any easier than this when you’re craving probably one of the most comforting soups of all-time.
I used bone-in split chicken breasts and left the majority of the skin on (while cooking) for extra flavor, but if you want to remove all of the skin before cooking, it’s totally up to you.
The aromas while this soup is cooking… MERCY! My dog Baby has learned to love the Instant Pot, too. She sits in the kitchen religiously when it’s cooking!
This homemade soup that tastes just like what Grandma used to simmer for hours comes together in 40 minutes flat… about 10 minutes prep time and a total of 30 minutes cook time (I included the time it takes to come to pressure).
Enjoy!

Hi there. How much time should I add if the chicken is frozen? Love this recipe. I’ve made it several times but never with frozen chicken breast!
Amy @ The Blond Cook says
Hi Jill, I can’t say with certainty because I’ve never made this soup using frozen chicken. So happy you like the recipe! 🙂
JJ says
Would the amounts need to be reduced for a 6qt?
Amy @ The Blond Cook says
Hi JJ, I can’t say because I haven’t made this in a 6-quart… please follow manufacturer guidelines to make sure you don’t go over the maximum fill level and use your best judgement if you have to reduce ingredients. I hope you enjoy the soup if you make it! 🙂
