Magic Soup
This soup is magic! If you’re feeling under the weather (or just want something light but nourishing) it will make you feel so much better. It’s like a rockin’ version of chicken noodle soup. With the addition of lemon and dill it’s so much better than normal chicken soup. The quick 1-minute cook time (plus natural pressure release) keeps the veggies tender and the chicken and noodles perfectly cooked. Enjoy!

Can this be canned or frozen. When I’m not feeling good the last thing I want to do is cook.
I am not sure about canned but you could freeze it for sure. I would make it without the noodles and freeze it. Then when you’re ready to eat it you can warm it up and add in some cooked noodles. That way the noodles won’t get mushy and soak up all the broth.
Thanks for this.
you’re welcome!
