2nd try posting because I didn’t include a recipe.
This is made using one cutlet shredded ($1.60), Liptons extra noodle powder soup ($1.25), and a 1/4 cup of frozen peas and carrots ($.37) – total $4.46 for 3 hearty cups of chicken noodle soup on a cold night.
Bonus: there is enough ingredients for a second soup, and at least one more dinner!
Pricing of all ingredients (Purchased in Colorado):
– $5 pack of 3-4 chicken cutlets
– $2.49 Liptons Extra Noodle Soup (2 packets)
– $1.49 12oz bag Frozen Peas & Carrots
Recipe:
Take one chicken cutlet place into instant pot with salt, pepper, and any other spices of your choice. Add 3 cups water or broth.
Pressure cook on high for 10 min, then 5 min natural release.
Pull out chicken and shred using two forks. Put in bowl and cover. Set aside to rest – I add a spoonful of broth while it rests.
Transfer the broth to a medium pot. Add 1/4 cup frozen peas & carrots, bring to a boil.
Add 1 packet Liptons soup mix set temp to low.
Simmer uncovered for 5 minutes until noodles tender.
Add chicken and cook for 1 extra minute.

I feel like a dingus for not fully reading instructions. Just so they don’t remove the post I’m posting the recipe in comments too.

Looks great!
Try it with chicken thighs. You can remove the skin by hand and the fatty stuff yourself with a sharp paring knife if you want to.
More flavour, more fats, more collagen. Cheaper than breast (cutlets? – or are you talking *tenders*, the strip of meat under the breast?) even accounting for the bone.
But you *want* the bone, since it gives up so much.
