Is there anything better on a chilly, rainy night than a big bowl of soup? Nope!

We had a fall like night a couple of days ago, I took the opportunity to make homemade Chicken Noodle soup in my Instant Pot. It takes less then 30 minutes, and is really easy!

Judging by the fact there was less than a spoonful of left overs.. I think it was a big hit!

Sprinkle your minced Garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Then add 1/2 cup of broth.

Mix well and add 2 bay leafs.
Set Instant Pot to pressure cook for 7 minutes. Close Instant Pot lid, set pressure value to seal.

Remove chicken from the pot and Change the setting from Keep Warm to SAUTE.
Once soup begins to boil (about 2 minutes) Add 8 oz of Wide Egg Noodles and cook for 4 or 5 minutes until desired texture.
While noodles cook, shred chicken with a forks. Then add back to soup once noodles are cooked.
