7 Gluten-Free Chicken Noodle Soup (Instant Pot or Stovetop)

Recipe Highlights

  • You can make this entire Gluten-Free Chicken Noodle Soup recipe in the pressure cooker, including sautéing the veggies. That makes this a one-pot meal, including cooking the pasta!
  • If you don’t want to use the pressure cooker, I’ve also included stovetop directions in the recipe card.
  • Prep time for this comforting soup is only about 10 minutes.
  • The dish will be done in 45 minutes from start to finish, but most of that time is hands-off.

Recipe Steps

Step One

Collect all of the ingredients and chop the onion, mince the garlic and slice the carrot and celery.

Step Two

Use the Sauté setting on your Instant Pot to soften the vegetables for about 3 minutes.

Allow for a 10-minute natural release. Remove the lid, stir, and serve hot.

Recipe Tips & Substitutions

  • Onions, carrots, and celery can be chopped up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Do double duty earlier in the week to save time.
  • Taste the soup before adding the pasta and add additional salt and pepper if needed.
  • Break the pasta in half before adding to the pot. See my list of the best gluten-free pasta brands.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. You can also freeze this soup for up to 2 months.

FAQs

Can I use regular pasta in this recipe?

Yes, but the cooking time may vary. The general rule for cooking pasta in the Instant Pot is to cut the cooking time of the pasta in half and add a minute. But, in this case, since we’re cooking the chicken at the same time, you need to make sure you use a minimal number of minutes to ensure the chicken gets cooked through (at least 6 minutes depending on the size of the chicken chunks).

If you’re looking for a healthy and comforting dish, then you’re going to love this recipe for Gluten-Free Chicken Noodle Soup. It’s so easy to cook and can be made in the Instant Pot or on the stovetop.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 3 celery stalks, sliced
  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1.25–pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 3 breasts), cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 6 ounces gluten-free white rice spaghetti pasta, broken in half

Instructions

  1. Select Sauté and add the oil to the Instant Pot. Let the oil heat up for a minute, and add the onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Cook for about 3 minutes, or until the vegetables start to soften. Press Cancel and pour in the broth. 
  2. Add the chicken, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine. Place the noodles on top, but don’t stir.  
  3. Lock on the lid. Select Pressure Cook or Manual, and adjust the pressure to High and the time to 10 minutes. Make sure the steam release knob is in the sealed position. After cooking, naturally release the pressure for 10 minutes, then quick release any remaining pressure.

  5. Stir and serve immediately, or place in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days.

Notes

  1. STOVETOP DIRECTIONS: Grab a large lidded pot. Heat the oil over medium heat. Sauté the vegetables and chicken for a few minutes. Add the herbs, salt, and pepper, along with the broth and noodles. Increase the heat to high, bring the mixture to a boil, and then lower the heat, cover the pot, and simmer for 18 minutes, or until the pasta and chicken are cooked through. Serve hot.
  2. Onions, carrots, and celery can be chopped up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Do double duty earlier in the week to save time.
