    This was better (and much faster) than my almost all day chicken soup. THANKS so much for this recipe. The Instant Pot has been my friend for almost 4 years and enjoy discovering new recipes.

  2. Finula says:

    Just delicious, unfortunately used wrong noodles which expanded in the heat but was able to remove them and was left with a perfect chicken soup in my regular saucepan.Next time I will use egg noodles as recipe suggests, I have learned my lesson. Thanks for grea5 recipes.

  3. Bertha Glen says:

    Nice recipe but I'd suggest if u want it to taste like the soup made by generations of grammas add a pigs foot, use cheap cuts of skin covered chicken with bones and add bay leaves in and the chicken broth and do the first cooking. Then strain and use this stronger tasting broth and follow the six sisters instructions to make ur soupIt's nice to have the instant pot and these excellent recipes to make an old fashion soup that used to take 12 hours to cook

  11. Cyd says:

    It serves about 6 people. It really depends on how big your servings are.

  12. Chris says:

    This is the 3rd recipe I've tried from SSS since Kristen's YT videos convinced me to purchase an IP 2 weeks ago. First time cooking this recipe and it turned out "ok" - the egg noodles came out quite soggy/mushy. Would this be from cooking to long? I cooked the raw chicken / broth for 15 minutes, quick released and put noodles, spices, and veggies in for 5 minutes. I didn't hear the timer and left it in for an extra 6 minutes before i quick released. Would that affect the noodles? Thank you SSS for the great recipes!

  13. Cyd says:

    This needed a quick release after 5 minutes. So your noodles were mushy from cooking that extra 6 minutes.

  14. Josie says:

    Like what I read

  15. Kathy Savage says:

    I would like to start getting your recipes. I have just got an instant pot and feel I am not using it enough. Thank you for your time.

  16. Cyd says:

    Be sure to watch our You Tube videos. We do a new recipe every week. Most of them right now are Instant Pot recipes, or freezer meals that work in the instant pot.

  17. Courtney Pies says:

    I made this yesterday and it was absolutely delicious! I'm so excited to try more of your Instant Pot recipes and to get your cookbook in the mail!

  18. Shawna K says:

    I have taught all my kids to cook and it has served them so well, now I'm down to my last little guy and he is just starting. He choose chicken noodle soup so I searched up this recipe so he would have one to follow, rather than making by memory. He had a great time peeling the carrots, chopping the celery and stirring. We used canned chicken for ease and he chopped it up into small bit too. I used Knor chicken bullion instead of broth, so he was able to measure the water and then the granules as well. Thanks for helping making cooking so easy!!

    We love this! You are doing great things teaching your kids how to cook!!

  20. Amanda says:

    Easy and quick recipe to make. The taste was very bland and the noodles soaked up too much of the broth so I suggest not using as many noodles or add more broth.

FAQs

How to make chicken noodle soup broth thicker? ›

Add Flour Or Cornstarch

Instead, ladle a small amount of broth into a separate bowl and let it cool. Add a few tablespoons of flour or cornstarch to the bowl and whisk until it's blended smooth. Next, bring the soup to a simmer and add the mixture back to the pot. Pro tip: Don't dump in the entire mixture at once.

How to make chicken noodle soup without the noodles soaking up all the broth? ›

If you cook them or partially cook them beforehand they will soak up less liquid. Personally I like that they soak up the liquid as it's more flavorful than water. You can just add more liquid than called for in the recipe if you want more liquid. You add the noodles that are already cooked to the hot soup.

What gives soup more flavor? ›

"If your broth is lacking in savory richness, try adding roasted onion, tomato paste, mushrooms, seaweed, soy sauce, or miso. These ingredients add umami flavor and depth to broth," she says. The choice of ingredient depends on the recipe, though.

What seasoning makes soup taste better? ›

Some of our favorites are Dried Shallots, Dehydrated Red Bell Pepper, Dehydrated Green Bell Pepper, Tomato Flakes, Minced Onion and Roasted Garlic Flakes.

What thickens chicken soup? ›

Cornstarch is a great option as it is a natural thickening agent, but you'll want to be careful about how much you use. Start with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch whisked together with cold water to create a slurry. Then, gradually add the slurry to the soup, letting it boil for one to two minutes before adding more.

What is the best thickener for soup? ›

About this method: One of the most common ways to thicken sauces and soups is with a starch-based slurry, and cornstarch is a popular choice. Cornstarch is flavorless, easy to mix up, and versatile, which makes it a go-to pantry ingredient.

Why do you put lemon juice in chicken noodle soup? ›

Not only does acid brighten your soup, but also balance the flavor including the saltiness that comes from the broth (store-bought chicken broth and stock, or bouillon, are typically high in sodium).

Why add vinegar to chicken noodle soup? ›

Vinegar is high in acid, which is the key to balancing out a dish that's been oversalted. While adding vinegar won't reduce the amount of sodium in the pot, the sharp tang of this condiment can help equal out the salty flavor on your tastebuds, masking the brininess of an oversalted soup and making it easier to eat.

Can I put uncooked noodles in my chicken soup? ›

Bring broth to a boil. Add noodles (either uncooked homemade egg noodles, or dry store-bought pasta) and cook just until noodles are al dente. If using store-bought noodles, be cautious not to overcook them! Remove pot from heat as soon as they are just barely tender.
