Ingredients
- 2 pounds skin-on bone-in chicken thighs trimmed of excess skin or fat
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium white onion chopped
- 2 carrots peeled cut into ½-inch pieces
- 2 celery ribs cut into ¼-inch pieces
- 8 cups chicken broth
- 1 bay leaf
- 5 ounces 3 cups wide egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
Instructions
- Turn on the Instant Pot and select the "Sauté" function. Season the chicken with salt and black pepper.
- Add olive oil at the IP and chicken thighs. Sear the chicken and then set it aside.
- Add onion, carrots and celery and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until slightly softened.
- Return the chicken thighs to the pot and pour in the chicken broth. Add the bay leaf, salt and pepper.
- Lock the lid in place and select the "Soup" function. Set the timer for 10 minutes. After the timer goes off, let the pressure release naturally for about 10 minutes, then manually release any remaining pressure.
- Remove the chicken thighs from the pot and shred them with two forks. Discard the skin and bone. Set the shredded chicken aside. Remove the bay leaf from the pot and discard it too.
- Add the egg noodles to the pot and stir to combine. Select the "Sauté" function and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the noodles are cooked and tender.
- Return the shredded chicken to the pot and stir to combine.
- Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley, if desired.
Notes
- To save time, look for a pre-chopped mirepoix veggie mix in the produce section.
- Chop vegetables into small, even pieces. This will make your soup taste even better because you'll get a little bit of everything in each bite.
- If you don't have egg noodles, you can substitute other types of pasta. Adjust cook time as needed.
- Start slow with the salt and add more at the end, if necessary!
- Feel free to add other seasonings, if desired.
