Instant Pot Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup
This Instant Pot Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup is easy to prepare and tastes like you slaved over it all day! It’s comforting, delicious, and comes together quickly (and in one pot!) thanks to your pressure cooker.
I’m a big fan of soups, no matter what time of year it is. I know it’s basically summertime now and we’re all looking more towards grilling recipes and fresh salads (like Cucumber Greek Salad, Yum! ????) but I still enjoy cooking up a big pot of soup or chili during the summer time. And when it comes to comfort food, it really doesn’t get any better than this Instant Pot Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup!
I actually started out making this recipe on the stovetop, which is definitely an option if you don’t have an Instant Pot or a pressure cooker. But, I realized that this was actually the perfect recipe for the Instant Pot because I could make it all in ONE pot without having to dirty multiple pans, which is essentially my favorite feature of the Instant Pot.
The Instant Pot is of course great for cooking meals quickly and with ease, but I sure do love how it minimizes the amount of cleanup that has to take place afterwards!
And while I love making this Instant Pot Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup for my own family, it’s also become one of my favorite meals to make for a friend or family member in need. It’s the perfect comforting meal to take to someone who is sick, just had a baby, etc. Pair this with a big loaf of crusty bread and you have one solidly delicious dinner!

Instant Pot Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 stalks celery, chopped
- 1 cup chopped carrots
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 teaspoons dried parsley
- 3/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- pepper, to taste
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 12 oz. frozen egg noodles (I use Reames brand)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Turn Instant Pot to saute and add the butter. Once butter is melted, add the onion, celery, and carrots. Cook for 5-7 minutes until veggies are soft. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds more, until fragrant.
- Hit the cancel button on the Instant Pot. Layer the noodles on top of the cooked veggies, then top with the chicken thighs, and pour in the chicken broth, parsley, poultry seasoning, seasoned salt, garlic powder, bay leaf, and pepper to taste. Place the lid on the Instant Pot and turn the vent valve to "sealing." Cook over manual high pressure for 10 minutes.
- Allow the Instant Pot to release pressure naturally for 12-15 minutes, then carefully turn the vent valve to release any remaining pressure. Once the pressure is released and the pin has dropped, remove the lid. Remove the chicken thighs to a cutting board and shred. Add the shredded meat back to the pot.
- Turn the Instant Pot to saute again. In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and flour to remove lumps, then add the mixture to the Instant Pot. Cook for about 5 more minutes until soup is thickened, stirring frequently. Sprinkle the parmesan cheese over the soup and stir until melted. Turn off the Instant Pot and serve. Enjoy!

I always crave soup as my comfort food when I’m sick so when hubby asked me what I wanted for dinner, I just said ‘soup’! He’s not used the IP much but he found this recipe and knocked it out of the park! This soup is unbelievably good. Like heavenly good!! He didn’t change a thing and the whole family devoured the entire pot. This is going into our regular rotation as one of my new favorites!
I made this delicious Creamy Chicken Noodle soup tonight. Of course I tweaked it a tad. I cooked the chicken a little longer before I shredded it (my chicken breast were thick). I used regular egg noodles I already had. I ended up using 8 cups of stock by the end. I added salt at the end as well. It’s really hearty and delicious.
Yummy, Yummy, Yummy,
This is the best chicken noodle soup we have ever tried! My mother-in-law who lives with us says it is her all-time favorite meal now! We make it often and serve it with drop biscuits. Thank you so much for this recipe!!
This soup was delish! I was wondering if anyone has added chopped spinach or kale for a little more vegeeness?
Absolutely delicious! I made gluten free version, so I used gluten free noodles and cornstarch for the thickener instead of flour..everybody raved about this soup!!
Yum this sounds great I always search for the creamy variety in recipes, so thank you!
OMG this looks SO GOOD! I’ve been needing some new instant pot recipes, thanks for the inspo!!!
It sounds so yummy, I need to get an instant pot because I could use something that minimises the amount of cleanup
Hello, what would the cook time be if the chicken thighs were diced and I used dry egg noodles? Thanks, can’t wait to try!
I used a ninja foodi 8qt. I’m fairly new to cooking with instant pots. The soup didn’t turn out very soupy. When adding the 4 cups of broth it didn’t cover the noodles completely. I’m not sure if there just wasn’t enough broth. All in all it still tastes amazing!
Loved it!!
This soup was *exceptionally* good; I did find it wanting for just a tad more chicken seasoning/salt. Since I wanted to make it extra rich and creamy, I added about 1/2 cup of cream cheese and doubled the butter. (We opted for cheddar cheese instead of Parmesan on top.) Right before I made it, my husband said he “doesn’t really care for soup.” As I type this, he’s on his 3rd bowl! =) Phenomenal recipe, and perfect for fall/winter!
I have fixed this before but I am wondering if it could be converted to a crock pot recipe?
yum!!! this looks so tasty! Soup is my fav and I wish I could eat gluten and dairy
Gosh, this looks good. Glad you used all fresh ingredients. I bet the egg noodles make it taste even better.
I keep saying I am going to get an instant pot but I haven’t yet. So many great recipes to try!
It looks so creamy, I’m definitely trying it soon, even if I don’t have an instant pot XD
This is my kind of soup. I love having soup when it’s chilly or rainy outside.
Love this soup! I didn’t have cream, so I used 2% milk and it still thickened and came out creamy, will definitely make again.
Just made this recipe and OMG, it was devine! It earned a place in my notebook of keepers!
This soup is so delicious and easy to prepare. I would make it again.
I loved you creamy chicken noodle and we are making zuppa tuscana tonight!
