Equipment

1 Instant Pot

Ingredients

1-2 tablespoons bacon grease (butter or oil works too but I love the flavor of bacon grease!)
1 medium onion, diced
4 stalks of celery, diced
1 pound cooked chicken, cubed (leftover is great)
4 large carrots, peeled and chopped into chunks
3 cups chicken stock or broth
2 teaspoons seasoned salt
12 ounces rotini pasta (we use gluten-free)
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Using the sauté function on your Instant Pot, sauté diced onion and celery in bacon grease until slightly translucent
Add carrots, chicken, stock, seasoning and pasta to the pot
Add water to the max line and seal the Instant Pot
Cook on manual mode for 3 minutes then quick release and enjoy!

Notes

How to store the leftovers

Take your leftover soup and place it in an airtight container. Put in the fridge and it can last up to four days.

Can you freeze it?

Absolutely! The best way to freeze chicken noodle soup is to freeze it without the noodles. If you freeze the soup with the noodles, it can become soggy. So, freeze everything else besides the noodles and cook up some gluten-free noodles when you are ready to eat. It can last in the freezer for 4-6 months.

Top tip: Make extra soup (without the noodles) so you can freeze it and save it for a day when you are super slammed or don't know what to make for dinner.
