Separate the parsley leaves from the stems and reserve the leaves. Add the stems to the pot. Cover with 3 quarts water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until the broth is golden and the chicken is cooked through, 40 to 50 minutes.
• Use tongs to remove the chicken from the pot and put in a large bowl to cool. Strain the stock through a fine mesh sieve into a large bowl or other container. Discard the solids. Wipe out the stockpot and pour the strained broth back into the pot.
• Cut the remaining 2 carrots diagonally into 1/4-slices. Cut the remaining 2 celery stalks into 1/2-inch slices. Dice the remaining half of the onion. Add the cut vegetables to the stock and simmer until tender, 15 to 20 minutes.

Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a low simmer and cook for 1 1/2 hours. Strain the stock through a fine-mesh sieve or a colander lined with paper towels. You should have 6 cups stock after cooking.
• For the soup: Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat until hot. Add the garlic, carrots, celery and onions and saute until tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the kale and cook for about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Hand-crush the canned tomatoes directly into the pot; it's nice to keep a little texture with the tomatoes. Add the chicken stock and simmer the soup on medium heat for 20 minutes. Fold in the rice and chicken and simmer for 5 more minutes. Finish with chopped parsley and serve in warm bowls with grated Parmesan on top.

PRESSURE COOKER FARMHOUSE CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Heat oil in pressure cooker pot over medium heat until shimmering (For the Instant Pot, I use the saute button). Add the onion (and a pinch of salt) and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and thyme and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Be careful not to brown the garlic. Stir in water, carrots, celery, and soy sauce, scraping up any browned bits. Season chicken with salt and pepper and place, breast-side up, in the pot (or just add cut-up chicken parts). Putting the chicken breast side up ensures more even cooking of the chicken. NOTE: I have now opted to buy a cut up chicken, as this makes shredding the cooked meat a lot easier to do. After adding the chicken, be sure that the contents of the pot do not exceed the max fill level of your pressure cooker.) Lock pressure cooker lid in place and bring to high pressure over medium-high heat for a stove top PC. As soon as the pot reaches high pressure, reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 20 minutes, adjusting heat as needed to maintain high pressure. NOTE: For the Instant Pot, set on manual for 20 minutes, on HIGH. Remove pot from heat. Quick release pressure, then carefully remove the lid, allowing steam to escape away from you. (Follow your pressure cooker's manual for quick-release instructions.) NOTE: The first time I filled my pot with 8 cups of water, which was just below the max line. When I did a manual pressure release, a lot of liquid spurted out-- and I had to put a towel around the lid, so as not to risk being burned by hot liquid. Be careful! Transfer chicken to cutting board, let cool slightly, then shred meat into bite-size pieces, discarding skin and bones. (I went for big chunks of chicken.) Using a large spoon, skim excess fat from the surface of the soup. Bring soup to boil, stir in noodles, and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. *NOTE: I do NOT cook my noodles in with the soup. Instead, I cook the noodles in salted water, separately, then rinse and drain. If you use a bouquet garni, and a cheese cloth with peppercorns, toss that, too. Stir in shredded chicken and parsley, season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve. NOTE: If cooking noodles separately (highly recommended by me), place some noodles in a bowl, and then the broth, with chicken meat and vegetables to serve. Garnish with parsley. TASTING NOTES: At first, I wasn't sure if adding soy sauce was all that great. My family loved it. The next day, the soup took on a whole new life, and it tasted even better! This is now my "go to" chicken soup recipe, and I keep a quart or two in the freezer at all times. This recipe can easily be adapted to a regular stove top stock pot, so no worries if you don't own a pressure cooker. I use an Instant Pot Electric Pressure Cooker and it has become a regular cooking tool in my kitchen. I was surprised to find so many internet recipes for pressure cooker chicken soup includes adding bouillon or chicken stock! Really? Why can't I use a whole chicken, add vegetables, herbs and aromatics to get a soup that has plenty of flavor? Well, thanks to America's Test Kitchen "Pressure Cooker Perfection" I achieved that-- and the secret ingredient (that I was dubious about) actually gave the broth a depth of flavor that tasted even better the next day. I made a couple of tweaks in the recipe and this is now my "go to" chicken noodle soup recipe.
