OH yes we love chicken soup!! No need to be sick to make this soup in your Instant Pot, it is the perfect meal any time of year as far as I am concerned. Really healthy, only requires a few fresh ingredients, and when cooked in your pressure cooker it only takes 5 minutes to come out perfect! Include as many or as few vegetables as you’d like, serve with a side of rolls and you have the perfect meal, we all love this Instant Pot chicken noodle soup recipe. Just one of many Instant Pot recipes we’ve made and are adding more each and every day. 😉 (originally published 2/17)
We’ve made crockpot chicken soup many times but with the arrival of my new favorite appliance I knew I could make it much faster in my Instant Pot so I gave it a whirl and it worked perfectly the first time around (that doesn’t always happen when I’m experimenting, lol).
I had celery, carrots, and onions at home so I went with those additions.
I added the 1 container of chicken broth I had but that didn’t look like quite enough so I used the remainder of vegetable broth I had from my Instant Pot potato corn chowder recipe which came out to about 48 ounces of liquid, perfect for the noodles to absorb a bit of it and still have liquid to drink (or slurp) up.
Of course you can use make your own chicken broth and use that but I am all about easy so…….this is what I used.
Here’s what you’ll need to make Instant Pot chicken noodle soup and a video of how I make it:
- Boneless skinless chicken breasts (yes you put it in raw)
- Carrots
- Celery
- Egg noodles
- Chicken broth – I use this one
- Onion
- Seasoning with salt can be done beforehand or I like to do it when it’s done
We are always trying to eat as healthy as possible and I will say that having an Instant Pot has really helped with that!
I can buy lots of fresh produce, brown my meat right inside the pot, and a great meal cooks usually in less than 10 minutes which is ideal for our busy family, this homemade chicken noodle soup is definitely one of our favorites.

Of all the chicken noodle soup recipes this is the best. The only changes I made was a bit more chicken and a 10 minute NPR. Next time I’ll add a bit more noodles. Great flavor and so quick.
Made this last night and it came out delicious. I didn’t have oregano and I used 3 smallish pieces of chicken and some extra veggies and noodles. It was the first time I tried the sauté function on the instant pot and it was great 🙂 I got some fresh ciabatta bread for a side and warmed it up in the toaster oven for a few. Great meal for a cold night!
This is so good! I made it last night. Did not use the onion (husband doesn’t care for them) and added a bay leaf and black pepper with the other spices. I did let it do a natural release for about 10 minutes.
Perfect! Will definitely make again. Thank you!
So glad!
I have made this multiple times. It is consistently delicious! Try it with a little crushed rosemary. SO GOOD!!!!
So glad it’s a favorite of yours too.
Do you do a quick release?
Yes you can do a quick release.
Is this seriously only 3 min cook time?? Wow!
This was great! It was my first instant pot recipe ever and it was wonderful! I added a bay leaf, some garlic, and a teaspoon of soy sauce and it was awesome!
I recently got an IP (I know, late to the game) and was looking for an IP chicken noodle soup recipe, and this one was a winner! We loaded up on the veggies, it was delicious and comforting. This is now my go to IP chicken noodle soup recipe, thank you!
OH good!!
I love my IP and have made so many recipes with it but not chicken noodle soup! I must try this!
Does this need natural release? Or quick release?
I am New to Instant Pot cooking. This was the first recipe I tried and I Loved it.
I did add some minced garlic and a bay leaf with the other seasonings and it was wonderful.
Thank You for Sharing this recipe….I will definitely make it again.
Instructions say to add salt and pepper but not listed in the ingredients. Instructions doesn’t mention oregano or basil. Which is it?
The recipe says add your salt and pepper and spices if you are using them.
New to the instant pot way of cooking, usually make our soup with annes dumplings (you can find them in the freezer section in most stores). Going to add them at the end I think with instant pot on saute. Don’t think adding them at beginning would be a good idea.
I have an 8 quart IP. Can I double this recipe for leftovers?
I have a 6 qt. so not sure, as long as it doesn’t surpass 3/4 of the pot you should be fine.
Hi! I am new to the IP craze! Just made my first recipe last night. Now I want to try everything! I have the IP mini- should I cut this recipe in half because of my smaller cooker? Thank you for your help! So excited to try this soup and more of your recipes!
You could cut in half yes.
Can you use regular spiral noodles instead of egg noodles?
This was delicious. Just finished my first bowl…hubby is working on his second. I tweaked it a bit with more carrots–added mushrooms, garlic, bay leaf and fresh parsley. So easy and yummy. I’m new to the Instant Pot, but will be using it more often now. Tx for a great recipe.
Awesome!!
I made this tonight and it is good but all the liquid seems to be gone 🙁 I did the quick release, did the liquid come out because of that?
I’m making this now but instead of cutting the chicken I tossed it whole (after sautéing onions & prior to the other ingredients), cooked it alone for 10mins and then used my hand mixer to shred the chicken. This way I didn’t have to cut it in cubes. I added the other ingredients and cooked for a few mins. Turned out great! Thanks for that recipe!
So glad!
Looking forward to trying this. How much chicken do I use? Breasts can really vary in size. One pound?
I want to make this soup using chicken that’s already cooked! Do I just cook the other ingredients and add chicken when it’s finished?
I would imagine so. Let me know if you do this!!!
how long do you saute the chicken and veggies for?
I made this tonight and it was fantastic. I did add 1 whole bay leaf and one clove of minced garlic before cooking.
Hello! I decided to make this because 1) I have a husband sick with the flu and 2) I am not feeling so great myself.
The soup turned out wonderfully well. I did, however, take a little liberty with two things. First, I added a couple of cloves of minced garlic (since garlic is great for health when you are sick). Second, in place of the basil and oregano, I used a heaping teaspoon of Italian Seasoning (which contains basil and oregano but also bay leaf, thyme, and parsley.
The soup was over the top with the garlic and seasonings. It would not be for everyone, but we found it a perfect compliment to the chicken and the veggies.
Thank you for the great recipe!
So glad you loved it.
I like your edits and an going to try this weekend. How much chicken did you use; breasts can vary in size. Thanks
The ones I buy are usually medium in size. It doesn’t make a huge difference since you are cutting into bite size pcs. initially anyway and cooking outside but med. is what I aim for.
I will be making this recipe this week. Thank you!!!
Well this was the easiest pot to make! It takes more time chopping than pressure cooking! I love how yu also add the uncooked pasta rt in the pot! It’s a winner!
This looks like it will be so delicious!
It is!!
Made this tonight ! Super fast, easy and delicious!!! And with ingredients I already had! Will definitely save and make again !
Oh, forgot to mention, I added kale and a little Tamari (for flavor depth) to this too. Seems like the possibilities for additions are endless too, the Tamari didn’t give it an Asian flare at all, you don’t even really detect it as Tamari but I do think it added some heft to the flavor. I might try a little lemon next time or ginger root…hmmmm
Instant Pot makes it pretty simple and fast to start with a whole chicken or chicken parts and make your own chicken broth too if you don’t mind the extra step or plan enough to whip up the chicken and broth another day or over the weekend when you have the time to then take the meat off the bones and carcass and pack them the way you choose for fridge or freezer. Chicken broth just from cooking the chicken, chicken bone broth from a couple of 90 min rounds on high after the meat is off the bones. I found this while trying to figure out if I could cook the noodles in the soup and was so happy to find I could, thank you! This IP is unbelievable, I can even make a good hearty real beef stew in the time it takes my husband to drive home without having to plan it. I have always made good use of my crock pots (yes I have a few) in the fall and winter in particular but now that I have found the IP, well the taste of everything that comes out of it doesn’t have that similarity the meals that come out of the crock pot tend to and I’m finding through sites and people like you that it’s versatility is vast. Thank you!
Awesome!
After a long 12 hr shift this is perfect! My husband can’t believe I actually want to make something. Haha Can’t wait to see how it turns out!
Does the time chenagr if using different type of noodles?
* change, sorry
Not unless they’re gluten free, those take a minute or so longer.
Excellent! Easy and delist. I had previously cooked chicken breasts. Added it after the 4 minutes cooking time. Worked fine…also added a couple of teaspoons of poultry seasoning.
How many cups is 1 serving? Trying to calculate my calories. This soup looks delish and low in calories. 😀
I made this last week when I was sick. It was so unbelievably easy. I don’t think I’ll ever buy canned soup again 🙂
If you double the recipe, do you double the pressure cooking time from 5 to 10 mins? Thanks
No, same Time. It will
Just take a little longer to come to pressure.
I just made this it is very good thank you for posting, I’m new to the instant pot family this is very simple to make and very yummy
I made it tonight; yummy

Oh my, I’m still kind of new to the instant pot and I’m always amazed at how my food turns out. This recipe did not disappoint! It was my first time trying the sautee function and it worked great. Thank you! This is my new favorite way to make chicken noodle soup!
Yeah!!
Good flavor but when released at 3 minutes, liquid came out as well.
Just realized that u meant your pressure cooker – what if u don’t hv a pressure cooker – how long wud it take to make this & what difference does it make to the recipe?
Search crockpot chicken soup on my blog to use a slow cooker!
You state “IP” in your recipe – what is “IP” – can’t figure out what u mean.
