Making chicken corn soup

SAUTE. Use a large cooking pot or a Dutch oven, and sauté the onion, celery, carrots for 1-2 minutes, then add chicken cubes and broth.

SIMMER. Slowly bring the mixture to a boil. Cover and reduce the heat and let the soup simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 30 minutes.

NOODLES. Add the uncooked noodles, corn and butter. Cook, uncovered, for about 10 minutes until the noodles are tender.

In the Instant Pot:

This soup is actually pretty quick to make, but the instant pot is even quicker especially if you have frozen chicken.

1. Add the onion, celery, carrots, broth and chicken to the Instant Pot. (you can even use frozen chicken) 
2. Set the pressure cook time for 8 minutes or 10 minutes if the chicken is frozen. 
3. Use a quick release. Add in the noodles, corn and butter.
4. Replace the pressure valve and Press the soup button. Set the soup time for 0 minutes. And allow the pressure to release naturally. This is when the noodles will cook. After 10 minutes of natural release go ahead and remove the pressure valve to finish venting the pot. 
5. If you used frozen chicken breast you’ll need to shred or cube the chicken.
