With just a few quick steps, our Instant Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup combines all the savory flavors of traditional soup. The soup is very adaptable, which is why we adore it. For instance, we enjoy adding tortilla strips, cilantro, avocado, or jalapenos as toppings, but feel free to use any other ingredients you prefer.

Reviews
It was good, but with a couple more spices we went from good to really good. Definitely a good base for you to add your preferences to. Really easy to follow and make! I love it!
