Ingredients
  

Chicken

Soup Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion finely diced
  • 3 celery stalks medium-large, chopped small
  • 2 carrots large, shredded, sliced, or diced to preference
  • 1 potato medium to large, shredded or diced to preference
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 2 tbsp Better Than Bouillon Chicken

  • ¼ tsp oregano

Instructions
 

Chicken Preparation

  • If you have an Instant Pot, cook chicken breast on trivet, on high pressure with 1 cup water. 15 minutes for thawed chicken, 20 minutes for frozen. Allow to naturally release pressure. While chicken is in the Instant Pot, begin soup preparation, below.
  • Carefully to avoid burns, remove from Instant Pot with tongs onto a cutting mat and cut into bite sized pieces.
  • If you do not have, or do not want to use, an Instant Pot, cut the raw chicken breast into bite size pieces and follow instructions below.

Soup Preparation

  • In a 5-8 quart stock pot, cook onion and celery in 1 tbsp olive oil for 5-7 minutes, on medium heat until tender and onions just start to brown. If using raw chicken, add bite sized pieces with the onion and celery. If chicken needs more than the 5-7 minutes indicated, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until cooked.
  • Add carrots, potato, garlic, bouillon, seasonings, and 6 cups water. If using the Instant Pot for the chicken breast preparation, add to pot.
  • Bring to a slow boil, reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Add additional water if needed and return to a boil. Add noodles, cooking for the time indicated.
  • Remove from heat and serve.

Notes

You can use any noodles you wish. Egg noodles, any shape - mix it up, have some fun with it! Homemade or store bought, whichever you prefer.
Use more water for lots of noodles and/or a soup-ier soup, use less water for less noodles and/or a thicker soup.
