Begin by chopping all of your vegetables for the soup. Chop the onion, carrot and celery into small pieces about ¼ inch big (this does not need to be exact but is a good rough estimate for size!).
Mince the garlic into small pieces.
Set your Instant Pot® to the saute setting and add the olive oil, carrots, celery and onion to the pot. Saute for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the onions become translucent and the veggies begin to soften.
Add the garlic and saute for another 2 minutes.
Add the spices to the pot and stir to evenly distribute.
Add the chicken broth, chicken and water to the pot.
Place the top on the Instant Pot® and seal according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Select the ‘Soup’ setting on the Instant Pot® and set the timer to 7 minutes if making the 2 people sized recipe, 9 minutes for the 4 people sized recipe and 10 minutes for the 8 people sized.
Once the Instant Pot® cycle has finished, allow the pot to release the lid on its own which will take around 10 minutes.
Use two forks to pull the chicken into shredded pieces and also remove the bay leaves and discard.
Add the noodles to the chicken soup.If you would like to skip the noodles, turn the Instant Pot® off at this step and enjoy the soup while it is hot! Let the noodles cook in the soup for about 7 minutes or until they are nice and soft. Keep the lid off of the Instant Pot® while the noodles are cooking.
Turn off the Instant pot and serve the soup while hot! Enjoy!
