Chicken Noodle Soup with Kale

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
