Instant Pot Chicken Zoodle Soup

I do not believe there is anything more classic or nostalgic then chicken noodle soup. It truly is a dish that feeds the soul as well as nourishing the body. Surprisingly, this recipe leaves nothing to be desired even with substitution of zoodles. In my opinion, it gives it greater depths and freshness. As always I try to avoid using salt as much as possible so I try to use spices and herbs to give the dish a nice full flavor.

All spices are optional and can be interchanged with your preferred or available ingredients. This is the combination I have found to have the most flavor without sacrificing the classic chicken noodle taste.
