Storage Tips :

How to Make Chicken Tortilla Soup in the Instant Pot :

  • This recipe is not only speedy in terms of cooking time, but it is also simple to put together!
  • The first step is to fill the Instant Pot with all of the ingredients, with the exception of the black beans and the toppings or garnishes. After sealing the lid, simmer the soup for twenty minutes using the “Soup” setting.
  • Following that, let the steam out. After everything has been released, take off the top and remove the chicken from the pot. In order to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces, you should use two forks.

Tortilla Soup Toppings :

  • This soup is all about the toppings, to be sure! Some of my favorite toppings include tortilla chips (or tortilla strips), avocado, lime wedges, cilantro, shredded cheese, and a dollop of plain Greek yogurt (or sour cream) to bring even more flavor and texture to the dish.
  • As soon as you incorporate the Greek yogurt and cheese into the soup, it transforms into a creamy, rich, and even more delectable dish; therefore, you should not skimp on the toppings.
  • Or on the chips, which can be enjoyed as a side dish! According to my personal perspective, a dish that does not contain a component that is crunchy is not satisfying. 🙂
