With careful testing, we’ve created the Instant Pot® chicken noodle soup that can be your reliable go-to for years to come. In 45 minutes from start to finish, you’ll have a soup that tastes like it simmered all day, rich with chicken thighs, classic veggies like celery, onions and carrot, plus fragrant thyme and bay leaf. And don’t underestimate the importance of your pasta! We found that gemelli pasta stands up exceptionally well to cooking in the Instant Pot®, leaving you with silky—not mushy—noodles that complete the meal.
