Chicken Noodle Soup



Chicken Noodle Soup



To Start out I Cooked a whole chicken in the Instant Pot.
If you wanted to skip this step to make it a little easier you could easily buy a rotisserie chicken.



Put one cup of water in the bottom.

Add chicken breast side up.

These are the spices I put on the chicken, you can basically use whatever and however much you'd like.


Then set the instant pot to 60 minutes and let natural release. 

Once the instant pot hits natural release start sautéing the carrots, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in pot.
Add Carrots - You can also add onions and celery at this time if you choose.

Add spices.

These are the spices I used on the carrots and in the soup.


Once chicken is done remove from instant pot and set on plate. 


shred chicken.
Once the carrots are sautéed, add chicken to pot.
Add noodles, broth, and spices, then stir. 
Bring to boil, then reduce to simmer for 20 minutes and you're done!



Ingredients:
  • 1 whole chicken - 4-5lbs
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1-2 cups carrots (I choose to emit onions and celery for health reasons but you can easily add those in!)

It’s super easy, last a long time, and doesn’t have any of the icky preservatives, etc. Here’s the ingredients, 1/2 cup chili powder 3 Tablespoons cumin 1 Tablespoon salt 1 Tablespoon finely ground pepper 1 Tablespoon paprika 2 teaspoons garlic powder 2 teaspoons onion powder 2 teaspoons dried oregano Mix it all together and you’re good to go! To use, brown 1lb. hamburger,  then add 2 Tablespoons of the taco seasoning mix plus 1/3 cup water and simmer until liquid has thickened, about 1-2 minutes. I hope you enjoy!

Instant Pot Spaghetti

Instant Pot Spaghetti  Start by turning your instant pot to the sauté function, adding some olive oil and then once the screen says HOT add your hamburger and brown.  All of the spices I used. Once the hamburger is browned Turn the instant pot off. Once I turned the instant pot off I added the noodles, crisscrossing the noodles so they don't clump. Next I added the spaghetti sauce, water, and spices.  Then set the instant pot to manual for 10 minutes and did natural release. And finished product!  I turned the instant pot off, put the lid back on and let it cool a little once I mixed everything together. I used this for freezer meals. I was able to get 7 1 1/2 cup servings. I let these cool and then put them in the fridge and waited to put them in the freezer until the next day so it was completely cooled. Ingredients: Olive Oil 1 lb hamburger 2 jars pasta sauce 1 16oz box angel hair noodles 1 cup + 1 jar of Wa
