What Makes This Recipe Work

Secret to this Recipe…Is the use of an Instant Pot, which uses high pressure to speed up the cooking process. The first time I used one to make Chicken Soup, I couldn’t believe how fast it made soup. It cut the cooking time down by about 3 hours. And the resulting soup had the same beautiful depth of flavor as our stovetop Chicken Soup Recipe, but made in a fraction of the time.

Here’s What You Need

Notes on Ingredients

• 1 Whole Chicken, Cut Up – Depending on the size of the chicken, you can use less, if necessary. We recommend adding enough chicken to reach the one-half line inside the Instant Pot.
• Onions, 1 Cup, Chopped
• Carrots, 1 Cup, Chopped
• Celery, 1 Cup, Chopped
• 2.5 Quarts Water – This is an approximate amount of water and will vary according to the amount of chicken used. Water should not exceed the PC Max line inside the Instant Pot.
• 5 Chicken Bouillon Cubes – We recommend Wyler’s Chicken Instant Bouillon Cubes.
  Bouillon Substitution: 1 Tablespoon Table Salt in place of 5 Chicken Bouillon Cubes.
• 1 Tablespoon Table Salt
• ½ Pound Acini di Pepe (Pastina Pasta), Cooked
  Pasta Substitution: Substitute Wide Egg Noodles, Ditalini, or Broken Spaghetti, or your favorite pasta.

How to Make It

1. Put Ingredients into Instant Pot.
2. Add Water.
3. Cook.
4. Debone Chicken.
5. Cut Up Chicken.
6. Add Chicken and Cooked Pasta to Soup.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve hot with crackers or bread sticks.
• Top with Parmesan Cheese (super delicious).

Storage Suggestions

Freezing: Chicken Soup freezes well and is just as tasty reheated. That’s one reason I like to make this to share with friends and family when they need a little comfort food

• Microwave – Thaw frozen container of soup in the refrigerator overnight. Then, reheat in the microwave.
