Ninja Foodi Chicken Noodle Soup

This is a simple way to make a generous amount of homemade chicken noodle soup. Chicken soup is comfort food, a must when sick, and it's an inexpensive meal to feed a large family.
CHICKEN:
If I'm intentionally buying chicken for the express purpose of making this soup, I prefer skin-on bone-in dark meat, as the fats help add flavor and the meat is juicy (and it's less expensive!). I use whatever I have on hand, though, often making this soup after having a leftover whole chicken in the fridge. So this works fine with chicken breast, boneless chicken, or a whole leftover carcass. You don't need a specific amount. Whatever you have works.
BOUILLON, BASE, OR BROTH:
Traditional bouillon is too salty; you really need the broth base pictured below or another brand called "Better than Bouillon" (but the kind I use is the less expensive of the two). If using Better than Bouillon, reduce amount by a couple tablespoons, as it's a little stronger. Alternatively, you can use two additional 48oz containers of chicken broth instead of the broth base and water. You still will want to add a little bouillon if using nothing but broth (a couple tablespoons only).
DO I NEED A NINJA FOODI?
You don't need this model pressure cooker. Any will work so long as it's big enough to fit all the ingredients.
FREEZING FOR LATER:
You can make this and freeze it. However, if freezing, don't add the noodles. Simply cook noodles separately and add once thawed and reheated for future meals.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
With the basket inserted into the nanoceramic liner, add chicken, 48oz chicken broth, and sprinkle chicken generously with thyme. Add a dash of cracked pepper and salt also. Put on pressure cooker lid and set valve to seal position. Set to pressure cooker, hi, 20 minutes. Press start.
- 2
Cut up onions and celery.
- 3
Whisk broth base and some of the water.
- 4
When Foodi timer is done, quick release pressure. Carefully remove basket and set in sink. Let chicken set to cool.
- 5
To the broth left in the nanoceramic liner, add onions, celery, carrots, garlic, water broth base mix, the rest of the water, and sprinkle more thyme and pepper. Add pressure cooker lid. Set timer to hi, 5 minutes.
- 6
Once chicken has cooled to the touch, remove and discard bones and skin. It should just easily fall off the bone from having already pressure cooked it. (Tip: I use gloves. It helps me be able to handle the chicken sooner and not get burned, and also I'm not having to touch chicken.)
- 7
When timer goes off for the Foodi, quick release. Add separated chicken meat. Top with noodles but don't stir them in. Just allow the noodles to lay on top. Add pressure cooker lid, set to hi, 5 minutes.
- 8
When timer goes off, let natural release 5 minutes. Quick release, stir, and enjoy.

This recipe I kind of came up with on the fly. I use Lawrys poultry rub which does a fantastic job for seasoning chicken. I love pepper, so I'd say I used about 2 teaspoons. It is all preference. Carolyn Sabady -
