Description
Pressure cooker is one kitchen equipment that you will find in every Indian household. Many reasons!! Top most is because we love lentils, and dried lentils require long cooking time. Hence pressure cooker is appliance of choice for getting food on table, faster!Also, Pressure Cooker, as name suggests, cooks food in pressure, keeping food healthy, and preserving lots of nutrients. Since food cooks faster, it also saves lots of time! Take for example, yellow lentils, which take approx. 30 minutes to cook if simply boiled with water on stove top, will cook much faster, just in 5-8 minutes, in pressure cooker. Also, modern pressure cookers are safer! All-in-all pressure cooker is a great Kitchen Appliance to own. Being Indian, I cant imagine cooking lentils without pressure cooker, though sometimes I try not to use cooker, so as to share recipe instructions with you (for without-cooker-cooking).Not just lentils, even tough meats or when you need to add punch of flavor without wasting any time, you want a pressure cooker! I reach for my pressure cooker whenever I have to get food on dinner table under-20-minutes. These days, few of such crucial, time-pressed moments are early mornings. I pack breakfast for Vishal, and at the same time also make-and-pack lunch. Incredibly!! Isnt it?? ;) What!??! you too pack multiple meals every morning!! oh.... I thought I am the only one ;)Luckily, Vishal love salads for lunch, and sometimes leftovers-made-fancy work great too. Winters, however, come with need of warm and comforting soups/stews. We make chicken noodle soup, in winters, for dinner, but since long..... I wanted to make, chicken noodle soup for Vishal, for lunch. I cannot make Chicken soups a day in advance. Ask why??? well.... because every other day is our meat-free day! Like a day before Wednesday, is meat-free so I cant cook chicken!!! I dont like freezing pasta soups for personal pref. and I have no time to spare, in morning, to perch over stove and make flavorful soups.Hence, I developed this recipe, my quick Pressure Cooker Chicken Noodle Soup!!! Soup was so packed with flavor, trust me, my kitchen was perfumed with chicken soup aroma! In-fact, Vishal told me when he reheated the soup for lunch, in office, his colleagues came asking Who is selling this Soup in Food Court?! sounds good to me!! I could have used chicken stock and pre-cooked chicken to make this soup.... but I am sure, you know, it wont be a fresh chicken noodle soup, instead it will be chicken-and-noodle-assembly. (dont judge me if I tell you, I do that sometimes when I am not in mood to cook at all)One Pot Soup, make it any way you like!End of the day, Chicken Noodle soup is one pot meal. You can cook it any way you like. If you dont own a pressure cooker, you can make this soup in a dutch oven or heavy bottom deep pot too. Cooking in Dutch Oven/Pot: For cooking in pot, follow the recipe instructions as-is, just change following:1. Replace cooker with dutch oven/deep pot wherever suggested. 2. Add 1/2 to 1 cup of extra water.3. After adding specified ingredients in step-2, cover pot with tight lid and cook on medium-low heat for 25 minutes or until chicken has fully cooked. Gluten Free?This chicken noodle soup is gluten free. I have used buckwheat soba noodles instead of egg pasta or wheat noodles. Few reasons - One, to keep it light and healthy. Plus quick cooking time of buckwheat Soba noodles is always a bonus when you are time-pressed.Soup was very flavorful. I added some fresh thyme to make it more appetizing and aromatic. However, this soup tastes great even without thyme. Feel free to skip it.Get ready to do some baking and shopping for Holidays, and still enjoy great healthy, fresh and homemade soup dinner in 20 minutes!
