Instant Pot: Chicken Soup

I decided to jump on the Instant Pot band wagon.  I don't use it for every meal, but there are things I like to use it for.

The biggest benefits of the IP are not just that it cooks quickly, but that you can start it and walk away (like a crock pot on steroids).

My first meal was homemade chicken soup.  It took a couple of hours from start to finish, but still saved a couple of hours (and a lot of babysitting) compared to making it on the stove.

I used this five-star rated recipe from mommypotamus.  I can't even tell you how delicious those carrots tasted!

To turn it into chicken noodle soup, I cooked pasta on the stove and added it to the finished chicken soup.

Update:  I made this recipe a second time.  To save time, I used a bag of baby carrots and 3 pounds of chicken drumsticks.  Prep took about 20 minutes and deboning the chicken at the end took about 10 minutes.  This soup tastes even better the second day!
