Grandma’s Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup Is the Perfect Delicious Dish for Chilly Days!

We love easy soup recipes! Some of our favorites include Instant Pot Italian Beef Stew and Slow Cooker Potatoes & Meatball Soup.

GRANDMA’S INSTANT POT CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP

Do you remember walking into your grandma’s kitchen when you were young? If your grandma was anything like mine, there was always something delicious bubbling away on the stove or in the oven. One of my favorites was grandma’s chicken noodle soup!

Now, Grandma didn’t have an Instant Pot, but something tells me she would have put it to good use. I think this version is just as good as Grandma’s! It’s great for lunch or dinner, and a healing meal when you’re a bit under the weather.

DOES THIS INSTANT POT CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP RECIPE HAVE TO SIMMER FOR A LONG TIME?

Grandma’s Chicken Noodle Soup was amazing, but realistically? We don’t always have time to let it simmer away for ages. We still want that glorious chicken noodle soup flavor, juicy chicken, and tender veggies and noodles, though!

This is all possible in just minutes with the Instant Pot. It’s so good, and so easy!

WHAT SHOULD I SERVE WITH GRANDMA’S INSTANT POT CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP RECIPE?

This soup is delicious as is, but you can also serve it with your favorite sandwich on the side or whip up some Southern Cornbread Muffins!

WILL GRANDMA’S INSTANT POT CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP RECIPE FREEZE WELL?

You can freeze this soup, but I would recommend freezing it without the noodles if possible, as they tend to get a bit mushy during the freeze-thaw-reheat cycle. It keeps well in the refrigerator for a few days though, so you can have an easy lunch or dinner with the leftovers!

  • Amorette DavisUser of the Free Freezer to Slow Cooker One Week Menu

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

  • Linda SearsOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Menus

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
