Instant Pot Creamy Chicken Tortilla Soup – 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:
- 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.
- Stir in cream cheese and shredded cheese until melted. Serve warm.
- *Uncooked chopped chicken can be used, as it will cook nicely in the broth.
