Cooked in under 30 minutes this homestyle EASY chicken Noodle soup with kale is a must-try! It is healthy, delicious, and simple to make. Using a few basic ingredients, you will have a comforting one-pot meal in no time!
Soups make fantastic meals on cool fall and winter nights. With most of our cooking in the Instant Pot, we are so happy that our favorite chicken noodle soup got even easier to make. This is my recipe that I came up with over years, when I got frustrated eating restaurant noodle soup which was, WELL just not GOOD enough!
Process
Turn Instant Pot to Saute mode. Add oil, garlic, onion, carrots, and celery. Saute for 30 seconds. Add chicken breasts, broth and give a quick stir. Close Instant Pot lid with pressure valve to sealing. Pressure cook for 8 minutes (5 mins for thin chicken breasts) followed by natural pressure release.
Open the Instant Pot. Take the Chicken Breasts out and shred them with a fork. Set Instant Pot to Saute mode. Add egg noodles and shredded chicken. Cook for 4-5 mins as the egg noodles get cook soft and tender. Add baby kale and stir everything together. Turn the Instant Pot off. Garnish with black pepper and fresh parsley.
Enjoy hot! A perfect make-ahead recipe that stays good refrigerated for up to 5 days. For longer shelf life or to freeze this soup, save the egg noodles and the kale. When you are ready to eat, simply thaw the soup overnight in the refrigerator and then heat it up on the stovetop. Simply add egg noodles once the soup comes to a full boil, then stir in the kale!
Variations
A few variations to this Instant Pot Chicken Noodle soup:
- Use bone-in chicken for this recipe, it's a great way to boost the nutrient density of this soup
- Substitute Chicken breasts with chicken thighs, drumsticks, or whole cut-up chicken
- You can leave out the baby kale or add other green veggies like baby spinach or Bok choy
- To make this soup low carb, leave out the egg noodles or add spiraled zucchini
- For a gluten-free soup, skip the egg noodles and add rice noodles or any GF noodles

This is a complete nutritious comfort food meal in a bowl albeit way too bland. Suggest serving it with a dash of hot sauce!

Hi Kalyani! Serving with hot sauce sounds like a good idea!!
Michelle says
Yum!! Any suggestions on the best gluten free noodle to use with this recipe? I'm tempted to make it as directed but then I can't enjoy it bc I have celiac. Do you think vermicelli would work? Thanks!
Archana says
Hi Michelle! Yes any of your favorite gluten free noodles or pasta will work perfectly. Rice vermicelli will work too! Let m know if you have any other questions ?
SG says
Hi Archana - when you say 4 cup chicken broth better than bouillon chicken broth base, do you mean mix the bouillon chicken broth base with water? How much base and how much water? Thanks! sounds yummy.
Archana says
Hi! To make 1 cup of broth with better than bouillon, you mix 1 teaspoon of of the broth base to 1 cup of water. So you need 4 teaspoon of base and 4 cups of water. Let me know how you like this soup!
