Makes about 10 cups 1 teaspoon unsalted butter 1 teaspoon olive oil 2 small onions, finely chopped, about 1½ cups 6 medium carrots, sliced into ¼-inch rounds, about 3 to 4 cups 3 ribs celery, cut into ¼-inch dice, about 1 cup 3 to 4 pounds mixed chicken breasts and thighs, bone in, skin removed ½ teaspoon kosher salt 1 sprig fresh parsley 1 sprig fresh thyme 5½ cups chicken broth 1 to 2 cups medium egg noodles 1 cup frozen peas (thaw while preparing soup) Place the butter and oil in the cooking pot of the Cuisinart® Electric Pressure Cooker. Select Sauté. Once butter begins to sizzle, stir the chopped onions into the cooking pot. Sauté for about 1 to 2 minutes, until onions begin to soften and become translucent. Stir in the carrots and celery. Sauté vegetables for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. The vegetables will pick up some color but keep stirring so they do not become too brown.
