Modifications on this Easy Instant Pot Chicken Soup

You can modify this chicken noodle soup to fit your family’s dietary needs or to suit what ingredients you have on hand.

Dairy Free Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup

• To make this Instant Pot Chicken Soup Dairy-Free, use olive oil instead of butter to saute the chicken and veggies.

Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup with Leftover Chicken

• Instead of using raw chicken breast or thighs, feel free to use leftover chicken.
• Add cubed cooked chicken, shredded instant pot chicken, leftover rotisserie chicken and add when you add the noodles to the soup.
• Feel free to use leftover Turkey as well to make Instant Pot Turkey Noodle Soup.

A Few More Notes

• I love to add dry white wine to add incredible depth and flavor to this chicken noodle soup. You can omit the wine and add in additional chicken stock in it’s place.
• Use homemade chicken stock, instant pot chicken stock or store bought chicken stock in this soup.
• Chicken thighs or chicken breasts both work for this chicken noodle soup, just be sure either option is boneless or skinless.
• Add any herbs your family likes. I love a combination of fresh thyme and rosemary, but bay is also great to add.
• Feel free to omit celery and/or onions if your family would prefer.
• To add brightness to your chicken soup, finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
