Instant Pot Crack Chicken Noodle Soup
Now I would like to introduce you to a magical little soup called Instant Pot Crack Chicken Noodle Soup. I LOVE soup!!! In the winter, it is not unusual for me to make soup 4 days during the week.
This recipe is so delicious, you will understand why its called crack. I kept some extra cheese and bacon on the side so that we could add some extra. I like the extra. 🙂
Look at these gorgeous ingredients.
Why Is It Called Crack Chicken Soup
This soup is called crack chicken soup because it is so addictive. I know, I know, but how do you think Crack Chicken came about. People made it, loved it, and couldn’t stop eating it. This is the perfect fall soup recipe you will want to keep on hand for your weekly soup rotation.
What Type Of Pasta Do You Use For Crack Chicken Soup
I reached for spaghetti noodles. I love the longer pasta in this recipe, it is the perfect ratio between creamy sauce, chicken, and pasta. Plus the noodles are the right thickness they will cook up fast in the Instant Pot.
Can I Use Homemade Ranch for Crack Chicken Soup
Yes. Feel free to use a store-bought packet or reach for homemade. Either will work in giving your soup that rich and savory ranch flavor. Just make sure it is the dry packet, and not liquid ranch or this recipe will not work.
What To Serve With Crack Chicken Noodle Soup
- Salad | Lighten up the dish with a crisp green salad. Sometimes I even buy a chopped salad kit and serve that up for an easy side.
- Bread | Any type of bread. Whether it be dinner rolls, breadsticks, or even crusty french bread, it all works great for dipping.
- Sandwich | If you are serving this at lunch, maybe do a small bowl of soup with a sandwich on the side. We like grilled cheese with ours.
Can I Use Vegetable Broth in Replace of Chicken Broth in Instant Pot Chicken Soup
Yes. You are welcome to use vegetable broth or even a chicken bone broth. Either will swap out with minimal changes in flavor to the crack chicken soup recipe.
How Long Does Crack Chicken Soup Store For
You can store this soup in the fridge for up to three days. If you go longer I always recommend using your best judgment. Food poisoning is no joke, so make sure to consider if it is good or not after day three.
Best Way To Reheat Crack Chicken Noodle Soup
Simply warm up bowl by bowl in the microwave, or opt to heat it up in a pan on the stove. Or you can even warm up a larger batch in your slow cooker on the low setting.
