Instant Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup- Quick, Easy, and oh so yummy!

I’ve now made this soup 3 times in the last 3 weeks.  It’s safe to say i’m slightly obsessed. It’s just so easy, delicious, and comforting on a chilly day.

I promised I would get this recipe to you all, so here we are!  I know i’ve been slightly MIA ever since our house remodel because it truly took every ounce of my energy (and time). The remodel was a huge huge huge undertaking and not having my own kitchen for 3-4 months made it very hard to maintain a busy and consistent food blog on top of my full time job and trips to Home Depot… lol.  We finally moved in in late October and I then needed to furnish the dang thing, so my free time was stilll very limited.  Thennnn, we didn’t waste any time and I went and got pregnant in November, sooo let’s just say as soon as I was ready to get back in the kitchen, I was knocked down by the First Trimester Hormone rush!

But here I am.  I’m back and i’m ready to start creating fun, new recipes for you all! Starting slow, but hoping to get back to sharing 2-3 new recipes a week with you all.  I just wanted you to know, I still love this blog so very much, I love creating new recipes for you and I’m here for the long run.  Just had a couple road blocks this year, but hey, i’m back!

Back to why we’re all here in the first place…

This Instant Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup is simple, yummy, and so flavorful.  Start by sauteing the peppers and onions in the instant pot on the Saute function.  Then add all remaining ingredients and pressure cook on high for 20 minutes- it’s no joke that simple.

I love adding endless toppings to my soups because it just adds a little more flair, but i’ll leave that part up to you!  I hope you love!  Please don’t forget to share your creations with me- makes me so happy!
