Dice 1 medium Yellow onion, slice 2 medium Carrots, chop 2 stalks Celery , and mince 3 cloves Garlic.
Set your Instant Pot to “Sauté” mode. Add a little oil, then sauté the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic for about 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Place 1 pound Chicken breast or thighs into the pot. Pour in 6 cups Chicken broth Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon Dried thyme , 1 teaspoon Salt , and 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper.
Seal the lid and set the Instant Pot to “Manual” or “Pressure Cook” on high for 12 minutes.
When the timer goes off, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then do a quick release to vent any remaining pressure.
Carefully remove the chicken breasts, shred them with two forks, and set aside.
Add 66 ounces Wide egg noodles or your preferred pasta to the pot. Switch back to “Sauté” mode and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 6-8 minutes or until the noodles are tender.
Return shredded chicken to the pot, stir to combine, and let it warm through for a couple minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Garnish with 2 tablespoons Parsley if you like and enjoy your cozy, homemade Bob Evans-style chicken noodle soup!
