Start by placing the liquid and raw chicken in the Instant Pot with the chicken totally covered by the liquid. Then add all other Phase 1 ingredients. Stir. Cover and secure the lid
Hit “Manual” or “Pressure Cook” High Pressure for 10 minutes. Quick release when done
Remove chicken from pot with tongs and set aside to cool
Remove and discard bay leaves and onion with a strainer
Meanwhile, boil a pot of water on the stove for the egg noodles
Add all the Phase 2 ingredients to the Instant Pot EXCEPT FOR the chicken and egg noodles (keep them out of it). Stir. Put on lid.
Hit “Manual” or “Pressure Cook” High Pressure for 5 minutes. Perform a quick release
While the pot is cooking the soup, the chicken should be cool enough to touch. Pick bones clean of all the meat, discarding bones, skin, and cartilage. Shred chicken by hand (clean ones, of course) and set aside
Also while the pot is cooking the soup, boil the egg noodles for about 8 minutes (or according to package) and strain & rinse when done
Add the shredded chicken to the soup once the lid is off and stir
Add desired amount of noodles to a bowl and ladle in some soup
