How to make Instant Pot Cuban Chicken Noodle Soup
- Heat the electric pressure cooker using the “saute” function until “hot.”
- Add the olive oil, carrots, potatoes, and onion to the electric pressure cooker. Cook about 2 to 3 minutes or until the vegetables begin to soften. Stir in the garlic.
- Add the chicken, broth, tomato paste, sazon packet, salt, oregano, and black pepper to the electric pressure cooker and stir.
- Cover and set the valve to sealing. Program the electric pressure cooker using the “manual” or “pressure cook” setting on high pressure for 6 minutes. Allow the pressure cooker to naturally release the pressure for 5 minutes before releasing any remaining pressure.
- Cancel the “keep warm” setting and activate the “saute” function.
- Stir in the lemon juice and pasta. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes or until the pasta is al dente. Add additional water if necessary to maintain your preferred consistency.
Tips Tricks and FAQs
- Another vegetable that you will sometimes find in this soup is pumpkin! You will even sometimes find 1 inch pieces of corn on the cob in Cuban Chicken Noodle. Don’t be afraid to add some to add another layer of flavors.
- This recipe calls for chicken stock, you can easily substitute it for homemade chicken broth.
- If you don’t have angel hair pasta you will want to use the thinnest pasta you have. A thin spaghetti noodle will work too.
Storage
Fridge
You will want to store your leftover Cuban Chicken Noodle Soup in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Freezer
Technically you can freeze this soup, however, I find that the potatoes and the noodles become a little mushy.
If you choose to freeze it, place it in a freezer-safe airtight container and place it in the freezer for about 4 months. I love storing it in individual containers which makes it easy to grab and go!
To thaw, place in the fridge overnight and then reheat in the microwave.

Sounds good – recipe is missing
Fixed.. I am so sorry. 🙂
Is there a “jump to the recipe” button. I have scrolled up and down multiple times and can’t find the actual recipe with a list of ingredients and amounts!
I apologize, I must have completely goofed up. The recipe is attached at the bottom now. 🙂
Sounds good, but the recipe is missing
I am so sorry.. I goofed up! UGH. 🙂 I have it added in now. I apologize. 🙂
This looks so good and I would love to make this but I’m not sure which Goya Sazon package to pick? The Cilantro Achiote one? There are multiple flavors at my store. ♥️
Hi,
This sounds delicious and definitely making it for dinner tonight. I do have a question regarding the chicken stock and broth, we need to use both kinds and 6 cups of each or use one of them with just 6 cups?
I am so sorry, that was an error. It is 6 cups of either or chicken stock or broth. It’s corrected now.
