Which Noodles to use to make Chicken Noodle Soup?
Feel free to use any noodles of your choice to make this soup. I used flat thai noodles but frankly, this tastes good with any kind of noodles. I mostly use egg noodles in this soup but you can use any flat pasta as well.
For a gluten free version, use gluten free noodles and you can even skip noodles for a low carb version.
You can even use Zoodles or zucchini noodles if you are looking for a low carb version of this soup.
Can you freeze Chicken Noodle Soup?
This soup is very good to freeze. Just follow the recipe until you add noodles to the soup and freeze the soup at this point. When you are ready to serve the soup, thaw it over the counter for 3-4 hours and then heat well. Add noodles and cook until they are done and then serve.
How long does Chicken Noodle Soup last?
This soup keeps good in refrigerator for 4-5 days. So you can make a big batch and your dinner is sorted for a week.
What to serve with Chicken Noodle Soup?
This soup is perfect to serve by itself. It is a whole meal with veggies, chicken and noodles giving all the required nutrients for the meal. However, you can serve dinner rolls or a salad on the side to make the meal even more filling.
Tips to make best Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup
The base of this soup is the broth and make sure its the best you use. I like to make my own broth at home but you can also go for a good canned one too.
Cooking the soup with chicken on bone lends a great flavour to the soup, however, if you are pressed with time, feel free to use boneless shredded chicken.
You can add vegetables like broccoli, potatoes, green beans, bok choy etc along with carrots and spinach to the soup if you wish to.
Add the noodles only when you are ready to serve the soup. If you are the not using the whole soup at one go, then only add the required amount of noodles for that meal.
You can also cook the noodles separately and add them in the soup. Cooing them in the broth definitely gives them an edge though.
If you don’t have an electric pressure cooker, make this soup in a regular stove top pressure cooker.
