Most of the country is dealing with sub-zero temperatures and/or snow right now. We could all use some great comfort food! The best thing about this recipe is that from start to finish you should be able to complete this dish in around 30 minutes. Say what?! Yes, 30 minutes.
One of the things that blew me away when I first got my Instant Pot was the ability to produce JUICY shredded chicken in 10 minutes. I made juicy, shredded chicken previously in my slow-cooker.
This is still an amazing way to produce shredded chicken. But, when it comes to weeknight dinners, if I didn’t pop in the chicken early that morning before rushing off to work, then there is no shredded chicken that night.
Can you make Instant Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup Using Rotisserie Chicken?
Yes, in fact, that would save some time with this recipe. Simply skip the steps pertaining to the chicken.

Instant Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup
Instant Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup is a quick and easy 20-minute pressure cooker recipe with tortilla strips, avocado, Greek yogurt, shredded cheese, black beans, and cilantro. This meal is perfect for weeknight dinners, meal prep, and freezer meals.
Ingredients
- 2 skinless chicken breasts
- 1 can low-sodium black beans
- 1 cup frozen whole kernel corn
- 1 can diced tomatoes and chilis I used Rotel
- 1/2 lime juice of
- 32 oz low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tbsp Better Than Bouillon Chicken Flavor
- 1/4 packet Taco Seasoning
- 1/2 onion chopped
- 3 garlic cloves chopped
- 1/3 cup tomato paste
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Place the Instant Pot on the saute function. Add the onions and garlic to the pot. Cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
-
Add the chicken breasts, chicken broth, Better than Bouillon, taco seasoning, and tomato paste to the Instant Pot.
-
Close the pot and seal. Place the Instant Pot on Manual > High Pressure Cooking for 10 minutes.
-
Allow the steam to naturally release for 10 minutes instead of performing a quick release.
-
Remove the lid. Remove the chicken from the pot and shred using a knife and fork.
-
Return the chicken to the pot. Place the Instant Pot on the saute function.
-
Add the corn, beans, Rotel, and lime juice. Stir to combine. Allow the soup to cook for 3-4 minutes until the corn and beans have softened some.
-
Serve in soup bowls. Top with tortilla strips, cilantro, and shredded cheese.
Recipe Notes
Additional topping ideas: sliced avocado, reduced-fat sour cream, plain, non-fat Greek yogurt (protein sour cream replacement), guacamole, jalapenos.
Cooking time noted includes the estimated time for the Instant Pot to come to pressure.
Instead of using pre-mixed taco seasoning you can make your own using 1 tbsp of chili powder and 1 tsp cumin.
I did not add any additional salt to this recipe. For me, the taco seasoning and Better Than Bouillon Chicken flavor provided enough flavor. If your soup is too salty you can dilute it with small doses of water.

I love tortillas. I’ve made them on the various ways, I didn’t know there are chicken tortillas soup. Looks, very tasty and yummy, maybe I’ll try it out someday.

This looks promising.. asking my husband to get the instant pot..after all he is the one who would want to have this tortilla recipe 😁😁

I never thought of making a chicken tortilla soup, this looks absolutely delicious! We have a set of round glass containers and rectangular glass containers that we use all the time as well. We are really working on cutting down plastic in our house and those are a big helper.

I got an Instant Pot for Christmas, but I didn’t know how much I would use it. I LOVE it, and I am making much healthier meals for my family. This soup is going on the list!

I make this dish in my Crock Pot but it takes much longer of course! I’d love to get an Instant Pot and try this!
Jake Ferrer
Wow! This instant pot soup looks so delicious! It is perfect for winter days.

This was excellent! The only change I made was that I didn’t use Taco Seasoning (didn’t have any) so just used the cumin. It didn’t need the chili powder IMO. Plus I added a can of pinto beans. It was better than my regular tortilla soup recipe. Also, I normally use a can of white hominy but didn’t have on hand so used the corn. It wa awesome!. I shared with my daughter who also just got a new Instant Pot on Prime day just like mommy! Thank you!

I made this last night. It was super easy and very tasty. I added a bit of Masa Harina to thicken it up a bit as I like heavier soups.
Angie
This recipe was fantastic! I doubled the recipe and used chicken tenderloins instead of breasts, 1.5 lbs.
I also used one can of rotel and one can of diced tomatoes because my kids don’t like spice. It had great flavor without too much heat for them. I will be making this often!
