    Oh the weather outside is WINTER.

    When did we get here, and what have you done with Fall?! I'm genuinely concerned. Besides the mountain of blankets, fleece sheets, burning hot showers, and endless cups of tea, I'm getting by.

    And soups. Thank G.O.D for soups.

    Especially SOUPa spicy, open the floodgates of my sinuses kinda soup. Nothing wakes you up and lowers your heating bill at the same time as an extra kick in the pants..or bowl.

    Being the late in the game kinda gal I am, I finally staggered on the Instant Pot caboose just in time for soup season. At first glance, it's a bit like navigating an air traffic control panel. Once you take a deep breath, and actually take a gander at the manual or the breadth of guides available online, you realize how freakin' awesome it in fact is.

    Now nothing tops cold weather comfort much like chicken noodle soup. But have you had sesame all up in your chix noodz before? If you're a spicy sesame noodle fan, you are in luck.

    Money-Saving Tips for this Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe:

    • Buy in bulk. Bigger packages of chicken breasts are cheaper by the pound than smaller ones. Cook some for the week on the weekend, and freeze the rest until you need it.
    • Freeze ginger. Freezers are great, aren't they? I can never use fresh ginger fast enough, but keeping it in the freezer makes it last much longer. Simply grate frozen ginger as you would fresh.
    • Don't buy pre-chopped. I know they're a timesaver, but those pre-cut veggies cost you. Find some extra time during the week to chop veggies ahead of time to have them ready when you need them.
