Instant Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup
Description
This soup leverages the Instant Pot’s pressure cooking to rapidly meld flavors and tenderize the chicken breast. Sautéing diced onion and garlic first builds an aromatic base. Then canned beans, corn, fire-roasted tomatoes, chicken broth, dried spices (including chili powder, cumin, and paprika), and whole chicken breasts are added. After pressure cooking for seven minutes, the chicken is shredded and returned to the soup, which is stirred and seasoned to taste.
The resulting soup is a savory broth with tender chicken and a depth of Southwestern flavor from the spices. Typical toppings of shredded cheese, sour cream, diced avocado, and chopped cilantro add creaminess and brightness, while tortilla chips introduce a crunchy contrast. This soup serves as a filling meal and is practical for weeknight dinners or meal prep.
