Simply follow the recipe , and dump and cook . Noodle gets cooked perfectly al-dente , without getting mushy , and chicken is perfectly tender and juicy. Make sure to cut the chicken into only 1/2 inch cubes , so it get cooked faster.

Can I use water or chicken broth to make this soup ?

I used water and chickens thighs to make the soup, but make your own broth by adding the bones cut from the chicken into the water , while pressure cooking the soup. Later remove the bones and discard it , it naturally flavors the broth, and I prefer making it this way, than a store brought chicken broth.

Note – you can also use any less sodium chicken / vegetable broth for this soup.

Make sure to cut the chicken into 1/2 inch cubes for faster cooking

This is how the canned soup chicken will look – half inch cube meaning, cut chicken into 1/2 inch thickness and lengthwise, to cook the chicken faster. If you cut the chicken into bigger pieces , then make sure to increase the pressure cooking time.

Optional –  For shredding the chicken –  add 300 grams chicken breast into the water with other ingredients and pressure cook for SEVEN minutes and wait for 5 minutes natural pressure release (NPR) and then do a quick pressure release ( QPR), After the steam is released, open the lid, Take the chicken out and place it on the cutting board , with the help of two forks , shred the chicken . Add the shredded chicken back to the soup .
