Why We Love This Instant Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup Recipe
If you’re looking for an easy, hearty, flavorful, loved-by-all soup to serve this week, this Instant Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup is just the thing! It’s so quick to make.
Quick. This soup is ready to eat in just 30 minutes– no hours of simmering required! Easy. We use the sauté function to quickly sweat the onions, then toss in the remaining ingredients, and let the Instant Pot do its thing! Flavorful. This soup is packed with flavor from garlic, fire-roasted tomatoes, beef and chicken broth, and a whole host of other flavor-enhancing ingredients!
Variations on Pressure Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup
It’s so easy to customize this soup to your tastes! For a less spicy soup, swap out the Rotel tomatoes for regular petite diced tomatoes. If you prefer to use chicken breasts, they work super well in this recipe with no adjustment necessary. And you can swap the beef broth for all chicken broth if you don’t have both on hand.
