Ingredients

  • 6 Boneless, Skinless chicken thighs
  • 3 large carrots sliced into rounds (or 1 1/2 cups chopped baby carrots)
  • 4 stalks of celery
  • 1 white onion diced
  • 1 tsp rosemary
  • 32 oz chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 2 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tsp black pepper
  • 6 cups water

Instructions

  • Add chicken thighs into the instant pot. Add onions, carrots, celery, chicken broth, and water.
  • Place in the rosemary, salt, pepper, ginger, and garlic.
  • Pour in 6 cups water for a 6 quart instant pot. See notes above for 8 quart and 3 quart instant pots.
  • Set valve to sealed. Click high pressure (or manual button) and set timer to 10 minutes. Once the instant pot stops counting and beeps quick release the pressure.
  • Once pressure is released remove lid and pull out the chicken. Shred chicken with tongs or a fork and add back to the pot.
  • For the pasta. Cook on stove top as directed on package. If you would like to cook the egg noodles in the instant pot. Add them to the pot after you’ve released the pressure. Let sit for about 10 to 12 minutes and egg noodles will cook in the broth. If you would like them to be cooked faster then set to saute mode and cook for 8 minutes. I warn that this method could result in mushy vegetables. I don’t recommend cooking the noodles in the pot.

Notes

When it comes to cooking the noodles we do this separate so that the noodles don’t become mush in the soup. We prefer to add them to each our own bowls. That being said we cook them and toss them in a tad of olive oil.
Add 1/3 more of everything for a 8 qt pot. Add 1/2 of what you would to the 6 qt for a 3 qt pot.
