Tools Needed

Ingredients

  • 2 leaves bay leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 3 large carrots, peeled and sliced into rounds

  • 3 teaspoons poultry seasoning
  • 4 cups homestyle egg noodles (long cook time)

Instructions

1

Step 1

Season the chicken legs well, and place them into your pot. Cover with water (but don't fill above max fill line! It is okay if a few aren't submerged.)

2

Step 2

Press the Saute button, then press the "Adjust" button to turn up the heat to high. Wait until the water comes to a simmer. Press "Cancel" to turn off the saute feature, and then press the "manual" button, and put the lid on. Flip the valve to "seal" and run for 30 minutes.

Step 3

Once the time expires, let it sit for 10 minutes and then put a towel over the vent and carefully do a QR (quick release. When you let the pressure out fast with the vent instead of letting it dissipate naturally.)

4

Step 4

Remove the legs from the broth, and set aside. When they are cool enough to handle, remove the meat from the bones and dice.

5

Step 5

Add the other ingredients to the broth including the meat, seal, and do a 10 minute manual cycle. NPR (Natural Pressure Release, or aka - do nothing. Just wait) for 10 minutes and then QR the lid (carefully! With a towel over so stuff doesn't come spurting out all crazy-like.)

Step 6

Check the noodles for done-ness, check the broth to make sure it is as salty as you like it, and serve!
