A YUMMY CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP (8-QT. PRESSURE COOKER)
This cold chaser has been adapted from a Bon Appetit recipe. This amount of chicken needs an 8-quart or larger pressure cooker (stove top or electric). Check how much chicken your pressure cooker manual says your pot can handle for chicken broth/stock before you start. (Chicken stock lasts 3 days in the refrigerator or 3 months in the freezer.) You can always pressure cook some additional chicken (and carrots) while the big batch of broth is cooling (I like Recipe#369106, which works well in a 2-qt. p.c.) For the Noodle Soup stage, make only as many noodles as you plan to serve at that meal. (Prep time includes time to cool down broth and chill for fat removal.) Yes, this is time-consuming, but making your own broth maximizes the health benefits. These ingredients escort phlegm from the body! And when you have a cold, the only thing that tastes truly good is good chicken soup. When I make this for you, it says I love you and care for you very much.

Steps:
- GARLIC GINGER CHICKEN BROTH.
- Combine salt, peppercorns, carrots, celery, onions, bay leaves, thyme sprigs, parsley sprigs, ginger and garlic in an 8-quart or larger pressure cooker pot.
- Place spatchcocked chicken on top. Add water, but do not let liquid level rise above 2/3 marker on pot.
- Secure lid. Bring to HIGH pressure and cook at pressure for 24 minutes. Let pressure release naturally.
- Remove lid. Transfer chicken to a platter to cool. Strain broth into a large bowl. Remove carrots and reserve for use in Noodle Soup; let them cool. Discard other solids from strainer.
- I recommend making the broth the night before and allowing time for it to cool before refrigerating. (That gives you plenty of time to pressure cook a second batch of chicken if it didn't all fit in your cooker.) The next day it's easy to remove the layer of chicken fat from the top of the gelatinous broth. (Broth can be stored in a refrigerator for 3 days or frozen for 3 months.).
- While broth cools, slice reserved carrots into rounds and store in covered container in the refrigerator until making Noodle Soup.
- Shred chicken meat from the bones. Discard skin, bones, and cartilage. Cover and refrigerate shredded chicken until making Noodle Soup.
- NOODLE SOUP.
- Remove fat layer from broth and return to pressure cooker pot. (Actually, tonight you don't have to cook under pressure so Noodle Soup can be prepared in a regular pot or in the pressure cooker pot, your choice. However, if you need fresh carrots, chop 2 medium raw carrots and use the pressure cooker at pressure.).
- Bring the broth to a boil.
- Add shredded chicken, pressure-cooked carrot rounds, and dry noodles and cook until noodles are al dente, about 10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the noodles (see package). (If using raw carrots, I would bring all to HIGH pressure and cook at pressure for 10 minutes, even though the noodles would be over-cooked - who wants hard carrots! Follow the p.c. manual's directions for quick release. For my Cooks Essentials p.c., I need to let it release naturally for at least 15 minutes before gingerly pressing the release button.) If omitting mushrooms, go to Step 16.
- OPTIONAL MUSHROOMS.
- Meanwhile, on medium heat in a non-stick sauté pan, heat butter and sauté mushroom wedges until soft. If desired, add a splash of dry sherry or dry white wine and raise heat to cook off liquid, stirring mushrooms constantly.
- Stir mushrooms into soup.
- Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with chopped parsley.

Steps:
- Heat oil in pressure cooker pot over medium heat until shimmering (For the Instant Pot, I use the saute button). Add the onion (and a pinch of salt) and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and thyme and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Be careful not to brown the garlic. Stir in water, carrots, celery, and soy sauce, scraping up any browned bits. Season chicken with salt and pepper and place, breast-side up, in the pot (or just add cut-up chicken parts). Putting the chicken breast side up ensures more even cooking of the chicken. NOTE: I have now opted to buy a cut up chicken, as this makes shredding the cooked meat a lot easier to do. After adding the chicken, be sure that the contents of the pot do not exceed the max fill level of your pressure cooker.) Lock pressure cooker lid in place and bring to high pressure over medium-high heat for a stove top PC. As soon as the pot reaches high pressure, reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 20 minutes, adjusting heat as needed to maintain high pressure. NOTE: For the Instant Pot, set on manual for 20 minutes, on HIGH. Remove pot from heat. Quick release pressure, then carefully remove the lid, allowing steam to escape away from you. (Follow your pressure cooker's manual for quick-release instructions.) NOTE: The first time I filled my pot with 8 cups of water, which was just below the max line. When I did a manual pressure release, a lot of liquid spurted out-- and I had to put a towel around the lid, so as not to risk being burned by hot liquid. Be careful! Transfer chicken to cutting board, let cool slightly, then shred meat into bite-size pieces, discarding skin and bones. (I went for big chunks of chicken.) Using a large spoon, skim excess fat from the surface of the soup. Bring soup to boil, stir in noodles, and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. *NOTE: I do NOT cook my noodles in with the soup. Instead, I cook the noodles in salted water, separately, then rinse and drain. If you use a bouquet garni, and a cheese cloth with peppercorns, toss that, too. Stir in shredded chicken and parsley, season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve. NOTE: If cooking noodles separately (highly recommended by me), place some noodles in a bowl, and then the broth, with chicken meat and vegetables to serve. Garnish with parsley. TASTING NOTES: At first, I wasn't sure if adding soy sauce was all that great. My family loved it. The next day, the soup took on a whole new life, and it tasted even better! This is now my "go to" chicken soup recipe, and I keep a quart or two in the freezer at all times. This recipe can easily be adapted to a regular stove top stock pot, so no worries if you don't own a pressure cooker. I use an Instant Pot Electric Pressure Cooker and it has become a regular cooking tool in my kitchen. I was surprised to find so many internet recipes for pressure cooker chicken soup includes adding bouillon or chicken stock! Really? Why can't I use a whole chicken, add vegetables, herbs and aromatics to get a soup that has plenty of flavor? Well, thanks to America's Test Kitchen "Pressure Cooker Perfection" I achieved that-- and the secret ingredient (that I was dubious about) actually gave the broth a depth of flavor that tasted even better the next day. I made a couple of tweaks in the recipe and this is now my "go to" chicken noodle soup recipe.
