FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
HOW DO YOU DO QUICK RELEASE ON A PRESSURE COOKER?
Check your pressure cookerās instruction manuals since different models may have different instructions. For my pressure cooker (Instant Pot), once the cooking time is over, it will beep. Then it will start counting up on the keep warm mode. If the recipe requests a quick release, press āCancelā immediately after the pot beeps. Then CAREFULLY turn the vent valve to āVentingā to release the pressure. Then remove the lid.
CAN I MAKE THIS SOUP ON THE STOVE?
Yes, follow the same steps. You just need to adjust the cooking time (step 3) to make sure the chicken is cooked through.

The ingredients call for potato but they aren’t mentioned in the instructions. Where are the potatoes being added?
Hello Anna! Sorry for the confusion. The potatoes are added in step 2 with the other veggies. Thanks for your interest in my recipe. Please come back and let me know how you like it =)

When you say select pressure cook does that mean high or low? My machine only has those two options. Not sure about other machines
Hello Alicia! I mean “High Pressure”. Thanks for your interest in my recipe. Please come back and let me know how you like it =)
What kind of noodles did you use in the pictures? They look like mini lasagna noodles. Do you know the name of them?
Hello Andrea! I used Barilla CAMPANELLE. Thanks for your interest in my recipe. Please come back and let me know how you like it =)
How do you stop that noodles from soaking up all the broth in the leftovers? Iāve had this problem when making other soups.
Hello Mary! If you like more broth and fewer noddles, I would suggest reducing the amoung of noddles you add to the soup. That might resolve the problem. Hope this helps!

Recipe looks great! Can I use chicken stock instead of bouillon?
Thanks!
Hello Amy! Yes, you can =) Thanks for your interest in my recipe. Please come back and let me know how you like it.
Do you think I could substitute a can of cream of chicken soup for the cream- and just add it to the instant pot before pressure cooking?
Hello Amanda! I haven’t done the soup that way but it could work. Since the cream of soup has salt in it I would recommend adjusting the amount of chicken bouillon. Thanks for your interest in my recipe. Please come back and let me know how you like it =)
I made this with onion powder and left out the celery. It was delicious! The perfect chicken noodle soup recipe! Thank you!
