    Thank goodness for recipes like this because with the cold front we are experiencing at this very moment in the Northeast, nothing makes the soul happier than a delicious warm bowl of soup. Some of my go-to recipes to battle the cold temperatures are my slow cooker chicken noodle soup with yuca and my shrimp and rice soup. This easy Instant Pot chicken tortilla soup is a great addition to that list.

    Instant Pot chicken tortilla soup topped with sour cream, tortilla chips and lime wedges.

    This chicken tortilla soup is so good that you’d want to eat it day and night for as long as the winter weather stays here. Of course, this is all made better by the fact that this recipe is made in the pressure cooker, which makes it really easy to prepare and substantially cuts down on cooking time.

    I recently purchased my first Instant Pot and this my friends is the first recipe I made using it. I have to confess that I was skeptical about getting a pressure cooker because I was quite honestly very scared to use it. But after the recommendation of many friends who swear by it, I finally gave in. After seeing how easy it is to use and how quick and easy it makes the cooking process, I was sold.

    IS THE INSTANT POT SAFE?

    Yes! The Instant Pot is safe to use as long as you follow the safety precautions to ensure safe use. After using it for the first time, I found that the Instant Pot is very easy to use and if the precautions are followed, there’s nothing to be worried about. So, don’t be intimidated. It’s truly a fantastic appliance to use for those of us with limited kitchen time and it’s great to cook soups, chilis and stews, among other delicious recipes.

    HOW TO MAKE THIS INSTANT POT CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP?

    To make this recipe, I simply saute the onions and garlic with a little bit of vegetable oil until soft. Then, I add the rest of the ingredients, cover and set to pressure cook for 7 minutes. After releasing all the pressure from the Instant Pot, remove the chicken and shred using two forks. Add the chicken back to the Instant Pot, add freshly-squeezed lime juice and stir. Serve warm and top with tortilla strips, cheese, sour cream, jalapeño slices, cilantro, lime and avocado.

    Go ahead and make this delicious soup for dinner this week. I assure you your entire family will love it!

    I’m a working mom, whose love for food led me to start this blog as a resource for other busy parents. I’m passionate about creating quick and easy versions of the recipes I grew up eating to share with busy parents who want to cook foods filled with Latin flavors that don’t take a ton of time to prepare.

    It is my mission to show you that you can make great flavorful dishes at home without spending the entire day in the kitchen.

      Delicious! Why on earth does this recipe have good comments/reviews in the English translation with no star rating and no ratings or comments on the Spanish version? We loved it! My husband and I have been sick with a cold and he generally hates chicken soup, but we all know soup is good to heal. I thought if I could add a Mexican, Dominican, Cuban, or Puerto Rican flare he'd eat the soup. It worked! The flavors in this soup are so well balanced and it's very comforting. I made my Mexican Rice to go in the soup, but would love to try this with tortilla strips, or both one day, along with additional toppings (I only used jalapeno, cilantro, and lime). Thank you for the recipe and I cannot wait to try more of your recipes!

        Yes, of course. It will take a bit longer. But you can definitely make it in the stove top.
