Why Do You Need to Remove the Bay Leaf?

Normally most of the food with you would assume is okay to eat, since well, you are cooking with it. 😉 But that is not exactly the case for the bay leaf.

While the bay leaf is not poisonous, it is definitely not worth trying to eat, it is just great for adding in extra flavor. Mashed address on their website the question of “Can you eat Bay Leaves?” as well if you would like more information on it!

    We have an egg allergy in our family. What other kind of noodle would you recommend? I wasn't sure if just replacing them with a fetuccini off the shelf would be okay in the instant pot or something else.

  2. char says:

    this recipe is wonderful. i have made it twice, once with fresh vegetables and ch and the other with canned veg and ch. both are good. this is a keeper girls!

  3. Donna Banks says:

    What size instant pot should be used for this recipe? I am a first time instant pot user. Thanks

  4. Momma Cyd says:

    We used the 6 quart duo.

  5. Eva says:

    I couldn't find frozen egg noodles. Would the other ones work to?

  6. Momma Cyd says:

    Yes, regular egg noodles will work too. They may not need to cook as long as frozen egg noodles.

  7. Christy says:

    How do I do a QR without stuff spraying everywhere?

  8. Momma Cyd says:

    I will often hold a paper towel or dishcloth a few inches above the instant pot. You aren't supposed to cover the valve because it could cause damage to your Instant Pot. So I'll hold it a few inches above and wait for it to quit spraying all over.

How to make chicken noodle soup without the noodles soaking up all the broth? ›

You add the noodles that are already cooked to the hot soup. If you cook them or partially cook them beforehand they will soak up less liquid. Personally I like that they soak up the liquid as it's more flavorful than water. You can just add more liquid than called for in the recipe if you want more liquid.

Can you put frozen chicken in Instant Pot? ›

Meat, like chicken or salmon, can go straight from the freezer into the Instant Pot. The reason? A pressure cooker, like the Instant Pot, quickly brings food to a safe temperature. This is different from a slow cooker, which can allow frozen foods to sit at an unsafe temperature for prolonged periods of time.

Add flour or cornflour

Put a tablespoon of either into a small bowl and stir in 2-3 tbsp of the soup until you have a smooth mixture. Stir this back into the soup and bring it to a simmer. Cook for a few minutes to allow the starch granules to burst to thicken, and to cook out any flour flavour.

Do you add cooked or uncooked noodles to soup? ›

There are some keys to amping up flavor when using water instead of stock. Make sure you really season your cooking liquid aggressively. Store-bought stock especially tends to have a lot of added salt, so if you're switching to water you're probably going to have to add more salt than you're used to adding.

yes. if you boil the chicken till it is cooked through, the rice may not be done yet, though. Can I add raw chicken strips with the rice in the rice cooker, and should I add more water? Yes, you may add them, and No you don't need to add more water.

Spice Up Your Life

How do you spice up boring soup? ›

The key here is using the right herbs. Choose tender, leafy herbs for topping soup, like parsley (flat leaf or curly), cilantro, chives, or even mint. Skip the woody herbs, like rosemary and thyme — or add them in the beginning of the cooking process — otherwise they will dull, rather than brighten, the flavor.
