Instant Pot Lentil Chicken Noodle Soup

  5.0 – 2 reviews  • Noodle Soup Recipes

This is a tasty, creamy, and hot dip. It’s ideal for using as a dipping sauce when watching football with potato or corn chips. Although I list 12 servings, I’ve discovered that some football fans can finish a fourth of this dish in only one hour. If you have four munchers and this is the only dip you have for a three-hour game, you should raise the serving size to 24 servings.

Awesome and easy hearty soup. We followed the recipe and added a dollop of sour cream and hot sauce. The whole family loved it. The dill and lemon are a nice touch and the noodles actually cook by sitting after the pressure release. Definitely add salt and pepper.

My husband made this soup today in our new Instant Pot. He used cooked rotisserie chicken and red, black and green lentil trio. It was delicious and will definitely make this again.
