PRESSURE COOKER LOADED CHICKEN VEGGIE SOUP

Pressure Cooker Loaded Chicken Veggie Soup image

When someone at our house gets sick, I whip up this quick and easy chicken soup. It resembles chicken noodle, but uses a variety of veggies instead of noodles for even more nutrition. Plus, if you use a pressure cooker or slow cooker, it makes meal prep even simpler! - Courtney Stultz, Weir, Kansas
