My Instant Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup is the perfect way to warm up and light on the calories.
Hey there friends, this is Jennifer from JENRON DESIGNS. Here’s my light and tasty Instant Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup recipe. This is one of the easiest soups to make. Adding fun garnishes like tri-colored tortilla strips, fresh jalapenos, avocado slices, and cilantro, makes it taste as good as it looks.
For this recipe, I highly recommend using all fresh ingredients. While it may take a little more time to chop them up, I promise it is so worth it for the rich flavor profile you will create.
However, you can save a little time by using a pre-cooked Rotisserie Chicken from your local grocery store. Simply remove the meat in shreds or cut the meat into hearty chunks.
To start this recipe saute your onions, garlic, jalapenos, and bell peppers in 2 tbsp of olive oil using a Spurtle for 7-8 minutes. Add in your chicken, beans, corn, rice, tomatoes, lime juice, and chicken broth. Secure lid and cook at manual high pressure for 15 minutes.
When finished use the quick pressure release valve to vent steam. Ladle the contents in a bowl. Top with 1/4 cup of Tri-Colored tortilla strips and squeeze fresh lime wedge over your soup. Garnish with your choice of avocado, cheese, sour cream, fresh jalapenos, and Cilantro.
