Summary:
This is a fast and easy recipe for making homemade chicken noodle soup in the Instant Pot. After just 10 minutes of pressure cooking, you are left with shreddable chunks of chicken and meltingly tender noodles. Everything cooks together in the same pot, including the noodles.
INGREDIENTS
- 1.75 pounds raw boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 3), cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1.5 cups diced onions (about 1/2 onion; Note 1)
- 1 cup diced celery (about 3 stalks)
- 1 cup diced carrots (about 3 carrots)
- 15-ounce can corn, drained (Note 2)
- 6 cups
low-sodium chicken broth (Note 3) - 8 ounces
rotini pasta - 3 tablespoons fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
- Sauté: Turn on
pressure cooker (Note 4) to sauté setting on medium heat. Once heated, add butter and spread it across bottom of pot. Add chicken pieces and cook until outsides are mostly cooked, a few minutes, stirring occasionally. Add onions, celery, and carrots, stirring everything together. Cook for a few minutes until fragrant, stirring occasionally. Turn off sauté setting. Keep everything inside pot. - Pressure Cook: Add corn, chicken broth, pasta, dill, and pepper to pressure cooker pot. Stir. Check that all ingredients are submerged in liquid. Cover and lock lid on pressure cooker. Select manual pressure cooking setting and adjust cooking time to 10 minutes at high pressure. Once time has elapsed, use quick release handle to release steam pressure and stop cooking.
- Serve: Stir contents of pot, and add salt to taste. Serve warm (Note 5).

I just made this recipe and doubled the ingredients to make enough for 10 people. It turned out delicious! I set the instant pot to 13 minutes but I think 11 would have been perfect. This is absolutely the best chicken noodle soup I have ever made!
Tried this tonight to take some to my 90 year old Dad – has a pretty bad cold. We tried it and liked it quite well! Needs a bit a salt at serving. This is such an easy and quick recipe. It’s definitely going in the save file! Thanks!
Thank you! This was a very simple, perfect recipe! I had to use egg noodle because I didn’t want to go to the store, but I don’t think that mattered too much. I appreciate you posting this.
This looks so good! If I swapped out the rotini for wide egg noodles, do you think I’d need to adjust the cooking time?
Can you recommend how to adjust the time for a 10 minute natural release mode? I never do instant release anymore due to the violent and unnecessary spraying of steam and liquid that occurs, and most recipes can be adapted to natural release.
I just throw a thin towel over the vent.
Great recipe – absolutely delicious.
I like this chicken noodle recipe but I don’t have a pressure cooker….what type of pot can I use?
I haven’t tested this recipe in anything other than a pressure cooker, unfortunately. You could try making this in a pot on the stovetop, but you’ll likely need to increase the amount of chicken broth because pressure cooking retains more liquid. The cooking time will also need to be increased.
I see the “soup” function on the cooker. Have you tried that for making soup? Just wonder if there is any differences? I have not as yet noticed anyone using that function in their recipes. I personally haven’t tried it- still very new to it!
I don’t think I’ve tried the “soup” function before. I think that any differences would be minor, and either would work for this recipe.
I used the soup function but then dialed time back to 10 minutes. 30 minutes would make mush 🙂
Wonderful soup! I have made it a lot. Followed the recipe exactly.
Just finished cooking and it smells great. I just opened the valve to release the pressure and there is quite a bit of liquid spitting out, more than the normal steam. Any thoughts why it would be doing this?
Hi, when a liquid is under high pressure, the temperature of it is beyond the boiling point of water, probably close to 250F but the pressure (15 psi) suppresses the actual boil process. When pressure is quickly released in this way, the liquid quickly boils as if you had a vigorous pot of liquid on the stove. The gas in the liquid quickly tries to escape and boils into the vent causing the spouting of liquid. High pressure and high temp is the friend of the instant pot.
Do u cook the noodles seperate?? Or do u put in pot?
The noodles are cooked in the pot. See recipe where the instructions say to add the rotini pasta.
Is frozen corn ok?
Yes!
diced raw chicken? or cooked?
Raw chicken.
This recipe is Fantastic, I Love Chicken Soup, now it’s made by Me when eat it….
