Instant Pot Thai Curry Chicken Noodle Soup

Whenever the weather gets cold, I crave some sort of noodle soup. It’s my go-to comfort food.

During the quarantine, I was craving the green curry from my favourite Thai restaurant in Toronto, Pai.

And it made me think that their Thai green curry can actually be very delicious as a noodle soup too!

What Makes This Instant Pot Recipe So Good?

  • One Pot: All you need is one pot, the Instant Pot inner cooking pot. I love one pot recipes like the Instant Pot Albondigas Soup.
  • Quick and Easy: This is mostly a set-and-forget recipe. The active time is actually short at 23 minutes. It’s the general Instant Pot preheating and steam release wait times that make it longer.

  • Flexible: You want white meat instead of dark meat chicken? You can just replace them and it will still work. You can even use beef or pork instead of chicken. Don’t want green curry? You can switch to Thai red curry or others.
  • Healthy: If you want to make it vegetarian, just skip the chicken and add more vegetables of your choice.

  • Multi-Recipe: This Instant Pot recipe is split into two main parts: Thai Green Curry Chicken Soup then the Noodles. In the process, you learn how to make Chicken Noodle Soup, Thai Curry Chicken Soup and Thai Coconut Curry Noodle Soup in an Instant Pot.
Pressure Cooker Thai Green Curry Chicken Noodle Soup on Instant Pot
  • Meal Prep: You can do this ahead of time by meal prepping the Thai curry soup with chicken only and then just heating it up with noodles when needed. You can even freeze the soup!
  • Scalable: This Instant Pot recipe serves two people but can easily serve portions by increasing the ingredients by the same ratio, up to what’s allowable for your Instant Pot quart size.

You press down on the Quick Release Button or Steam Release Button (depending on the model) until it locks into place.
