What is the soup setting on the Instant Pot?

The Instant Pot soup setting is programed to cook the soup on high pressure for 30 minutes, cook times may vary based on your Instant Pot. This allows the soup to come to a slow simmer which makes the broth clear.

I really like to be able to push the soup button on my Instant Pot knowing it is going to do all the work for me!

How to Release Pressure in the Instant Pot?

There are two ways you can release pressure in the Instant Pot. You can do the natural release which takes time or you can use the quick release which is my personal favorite!

The quick release allows you to get dinner on the table fast so you can enjoy family time!

1. Place the chicken, onions, carrots, and celery in the Instant pot.

2. Add seasonings. I also like adding in bay leaf.

3. Take the 2 cup of water and whisk in the ¼ cup of flour.

4. Pour into the Instant pot.

5. Add in the chicken broth.

6. Add the lid and make sure it is set to sealing set the timer for 20 minutes.

7. Do a quick release. Remove the chicken and shred.

8. Once chicken is shredded, add the chicken back in the instant pot.

9. Turn the instant pot to the sauté setting and bring the soup to a boil.

10. Add in the frozen reames noodles and cook for 15 to 20 minutes until noodles are cooked through. I also like adding a little olive oil to prevent the noodles from sticking together.

Enjoy!

Also if you want to use dry noodles instead of frozen, you would just cook them for about 6 minutes until they are cooked through.
