Immune Boosting Chicken Noodle Soup by Cooked.Inc

Could there be anything more soothing in the colder months than a steaming bowl of chicken noodle soup? This recipe is particularly good for boosting immune systems as it has turmeric, ginger and garlic. Thanks to Mariam from CookedInc for testing and perfecting this recipe.

1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 medium onion, chopped 
2 ribs of celery, chopped
3 carrots, sliced
3 cloves garlic, chopped 
300g chicken breast, chopped
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp tumeric
1 tsp freshly grated ginger
150g dried pasta
1 litre good quality chicken broth
500ml water
 
Set your Instant Pot to the Sauté function and allow it to heat up. Add the olive oil along with your veggies, herbs and spices and sauté for 5min. Add chicken, pasta, broth and water. Season with salt. If you're using a store-bought stock as your broth, decrease the amount of salt.

Place your lid on. Cancel the Sauté function. Pressure Cook on high for 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, do a 3 minute Natural Pressure Release then release the remaining pressure manually.
 
Notes:
To thicken your soup, make a slurry by combining 1 tbsp corn flour with 2 tbsp water. Add the slurry to your soup and place the pot back on the Sauté function for 5 minutes. 

Garnish your soup with freshly cracked black pepper, flat-leaf parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice. 

If you don't want pasta, add cubes of potato when you are sautéing the veg.
