Corn, in a tomato broth, seasoned with cajun flavors reminds me of my childhood. This new soup recipe reminds me so much of this Cajun Shrimp and Corn Soup. It was just the kind of soup we always had growing up.

If you’re a fan of a creamier Cajun soup like my Creamy Cajun Chicken Chowder, or heartier baked dishes such as my Cajun Baked Chicken and Rice, this soup fits right in with those flavors — just in a lighter, soup form.

Recommended for this recipe:

6 Qt Dutch Oven

A dutch oven is one of my favorite kitchen items. It’s great for soups, one pot dishes, browning, and sauteing. It goes easily from stove top to oven.

The post Easy Cajun Chicken and Rice Soup appeared first on Diary of A Recipe Collector.

If you want to know my Sunday plans, they usually involve making some sort of meal-prep recipe for our lunches throughout the week. Sometimes I make this one, or this one, but we love a good soup! They are always healthy and very filling.

I also love a good egg roll in a bowl for dinner, so I knew turning it into a soup would be a welcome addition to my weekly lunches. If you make a double batch, you can even freeze extras. I’m often grabbing a frozen soup out of my freezer before heading to school. This is also a major money saver too!

Important Notes about this Egg Roll Soup:

• Sometimes, I add more veggies. This soup is totally customizable. You can even try water chestnuts for extra crunch. These can be found on the Asian foods isle.
• I love ground chicken, but you can use ground turkey or lean ground beef.
• I buy coleslaw mix because it is convenient, but you can chop your own cabbage as well.
• If you are watching your sodium intake, I would use low-sodium soy sauce and chicken broth.
• Recipe can be doubled and freezes well in individual containers.

What do you need to make Egg Roll Soup?

• ground chicken, turkey, or lean ground beef
• creole seasoning
• chopped yellow onion
• chopped carrots
• minced garlic
• shredded coleslaw mix
• soy sauce
• chicken broth
• green onions

• Prep as much as you can on the weekend. For example: cut up and season your chicken breasts. Cut up your onion. Having this done ahead of time, takes a lot of the dread out of cooking when you get home from a busy day.

The post Favorite Instant Pot Recipes appeared first on Diary of A Recipe Collector.

I’m sure if you’ve explored my site or follow me on social media, then you know I love a good soup recipe.  They help me stay on a healthy track during the day.  This Instant Pot Chicken, Bean, and Kale Soup is my new favorite!

I am super excited to share this one with everyone!  Not only because it is the delicious combination of flavors, but because we are giving away an Instant Pot over on Instagram!  Be sure to ENTER THE GIVEAWAY HERE.  You can make so many great dishes with it!  

I made a whole batch of this soup the other day, divided it up into individual serving bowls, and froze some of it for future lunches and dinners.  Doing this allows me to have something healthier ready, so I don’t eat the chicken nuggets and pizza with my kids…although I do that sometimes too!

Tips for Making Instant Pot Chicken, Bean, and Kale Soup

• Forgot to take out frozen chicken.  Put them in the Instant Pot frozen!!  Just add five more minutes to your cooking time.  
• Use a rotisserie chicken for an easy option as well.  Set Instant Pot for 15 minutes if choosing this option.
• Use your favorite canned beans in this recipe.  I like the combination of the black and the white beans.
• Omit the rice if you are trying to go very low carb.
• Omit the sour cream if you are trying to go very low calorie.
• Freeze the extra in individual serving bowls for great make-ahead lunches!

A comforting creamy chicken soup recipe made easy using an instant pot.

I am the self-proclaimed queen of soup.  I love making soup year-round.  I don’t really ever get tired of them either.  And this Instant Pot Creamy Chicken Tortilla Soup is no exception.   I absolutely love lunch time when I get to eat something like this too.

I am a huge fan of short cuts too.  We are so insanely busy lately that shortcuts are a must.  I made this recipe using a rotisserie chicken.  Y’all, if you are not using these for dishes, you are missing out!  It’s such a time-saver, and they are packed with flavor!  You can use them in enchilada recipes, soups, nachos, etc.  I also made this one in my trusty Instant Pot.  I love it…like really really love it.  

Tips for Making Instant Pot Creamy Chicken Tortilla Soup:

• Go for it with that rotisserie chicken.  You will be amazed at how much time you save and how much flavor it brings to any dish.
• Feeding a crowd?  This recipe can be doubled.  If you don’t have a large instant pot, this recipe can be made on the stove very easily.  
• You can use regular chicken breasts if you don’t want to use a rotisserie chicken.  You can also use frozen chicken breasts.  That’s what is so wonderful about the Instant Pot!  Just increase the cook time to 20 minutes.
• Don’t ever put cream cheese in Instant Pot before you cook (pressurize).  Cream cheese and other cheeses should be put in during the last few minutes just to melt and combine.  Trust me!

How to make Creamy Chicken Tortilla Soup on the Stove:

1. 1. Add chopped chicken, Rotel, corn, beans, ranch mix,  and chicken broth to a large pot.  Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer for about 30 minutes.  
   2. Stir in cream cheese and shredded cheese until melted.  Serve warm.
   3. *Uncooked chopped chicken can be used, as it will cook nicely in the broth.

Instructions

1. Add chicken, Rotel, corn, black beans, ranch mix, and chicken broth to an instant pot.

2. Stir, cover, and secure lid into lock position. Make sure valve is set to sealing.

3. Cook on manual for 15 minutes. When timer beeps, let it naturally release for 15 minutes and then quick release.

4. Uncover and stir in cubed cream cheese and shredded cheese until melted.
