Yes, we do exactly that! Once the timer has goes off, we remove the chicken breasts, shred them up quickly and throw it right back. The instant pot is the best way to cook raw chicken quickly and leave it moist and succulent. It’s also great when chicken cooks in soup, because it absorbs all those delicious flavors, makes it extra tasty and keeping it tender.
So, the very best way to make a flavorful soup is to keep things simple. Using the right combination of ingredients can really make a big difference. Adding enough salt throughout the cooking process is a surefire way of making a flavorful soup. It ensures the that the flavor of all the individual ingredients get enhanced and makes a better overall soup!
If I want to add a little kick to the chicken noodle soup – I add about a teaspoon of red pepper flakes. It adds some subtle spiciness without overwhelming the dish.
In this recipe, we use Shirataki Noodles. It is one of your favorite pasta substitutes, when you’re feeling a bit over the usual spiraled vegetable noodles.
Shirataki Noodle are thin, translucent and made from a konjac yam. It originated in Japan and is very gelatinous. We love Shirataki Noodles because they have no real flavor of their own – instead they absorb whatever flavors you serve them with.
It all depends on the ingredients you put into the soup! Soup is great when you’re sick, because the natural salts and steam from a bowl of hot soup can help to clear your mucus membranes, as well as soothe a sore throat. Then, whatever you add into the soup (things like celery, onions, carrot, chicken) contains a host of immune boosting antioxidants which help you heal quicker.
