Instructions
Add all the ingredients except for the pasta and frozen vegetables to your Instant Pot.
Close and lock the lid.
Turn the vent on the lid to the sealing position.
Press Manual or Pressure Cooker button (depending on your model) and using the arrow buttons set the cook time to 25 minutes. Use defalt High Pressure.
Depending on your Instant Pot model and how cold the ingredients are, it'll take around 40 minutes to come to pressure. It could take longer, so be patient.
Once the Instant Pot beeps that the 25 minutes of cooking are done, do a Natural Pressure Release, which means just leave your Instant Pot be and it'll release the pressure naturally. It could take up to 1 hour.
While the soup was cooking in Instant Pot, cook the soup noodles on the stove using the package instructions.
Once the pressure is released, open Instant Pot. Take the onion, squeeze it and discard.
Remove the dill and bay leaves and discard. Try to find peppercorns as well if you can and discard them.
Remove carrot and either discard or dice it to use in the soup if you like it soft.
Remove all the chicken from the pot and shred.
Return the shredded chicken back to the pot, add the cooked pasta, add the frozen vegetables, and diced cooked carrot, if using. Close the lid and let stand for 5 minutes.
Try the liquid and adjust the seasonings to taste if desired. Serve with extra fresh dill.

Notes
We don't use a lot of salt in our food, so this amount of salt, Better Than Bouillon, and Vegeta may not be enough for you. Adjust the amounts to your tastes if desired.
