Instant Pot Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup

On fall days nothing tastes better than a hot bowl of soup.   I made this soup in my Instant Pot and it was delicious.   A nice hearty chicken soup loaded with noodles, chicken, and veggies all in a creamy stock.  All or most of the ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen.   This soup is perfect for a nice fall lunch or light dinner.  Nothing tastes better than soup on these chilly fall days. 
 Instant Pot Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup

Adapted Slightly by From My Southwest Kitchen Ingredients:
3 medium boneless skinless chicken breasts
8 cups  chicken broth divided
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
3 large carrots, peeled and chopped
4 ribs of celery, chopped
2 cups heavy cream
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
12 ounces egg noodles
1/3-1/2 cup flour depending on how thick you want the soup
Instructions
Instant Pot / Pressure Cooker
1. Place chicken in Instant Pot and add 7 cups chicken broth, garlic, oregano, rosemary, carrots, and celery. Add salt and pepper to taste.
2. Cover and set to pressure cook for 15 minutes if using thawed chicken, 25 if using frozen. Natural release for 10 minutes, then use quick release to let the rest of the pressure out. Uncover, set to "soup" setting and shred chicken with two forks.
3. In a medium bowl whisk flour into remaining 1 cup chicken broth. Stir in heavy cream. Pour into Instant Pot and stir in noodles.
4. Once soup is bubbling, cook for about 5 minutes longer or until noodles are tender. Taste, add salt and pepper as needed, garnish with fresh herbs if desired (such as thyme or parsley) and serve.
