I've made this soup weekly since I modified my grandma's recipe for the pressure cooker. Chicken soup, especially this one, is quick to make and budget-friendly for any large family.
Ingredients
2 teaspoons olive oil
4 bone-in chicken thighs
2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
1-1/2 celery ribs, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
6 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/2 package (8 ounces) fine egg noodles, cooked
chopped fresh parsley, optional
Directions
Select saute setting on a 3- or 6-qt. electric pressure cooker and adjust for medium heat; add oil. Brown chicken thighs. Press cancel. Add carrots, celery and broth to pressure cooker. Lock lid; close pressure-release valve. Adjust to pressure-cook on high for 10 minutes. Allow pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then quick-release any remaining pressure.
Stir in salt and pepper. Evenly divide noodles among 4 serving bowls; top each bowl with 1 chicken thigh and broth. If desired, sprinkle with parsley.
