I am so happy that I found this delicious and healthy recipe for all of you. This healthy Instant Pot Chicken Zoodle Soup will quickly become your favorite fall or winter soup. You can easily change this recipe by adding a variety of ingredients to it such as spinach, onions, beans, etc. You will be amazed at how fast and easy it is to cook it in your pressure cooker.
Soup is something a family might enjoy all year. It’s so comforting and warming. And it is so delicious and healthy. This chicken zoodle soup is a variation of the chicken noodle recipe.
The best thing about this recipe? The Instant Pot does everything! It can make the soup quickly, but it will still taste like it’s been simmering over the stove for hours. To start cooking the vegetables, use the sauté feature. Then, add the broth and chicken. It’s so simple and the chicken shreds perfectly.
How to Store or Freeze the Soup
This soup can be used for meal prep for the whole week or as a frozen meal. Let the soup cool, then store it in an airtight container kept in a refrigerator for up to 3-5 days. You can keep the zucchini separate until you are ready to serve the soup.
Let the soup cool completely before you freeze it. Then, fill an airtight container 3/4 of the way full. Don’t forget that it needs room to expand as it freezes. Keep it in the freezer for up to 3 months. Once you are ready to serve, let the frozen mixture thaw in the refrigerator before heating on the stovetop.
