Delicious and Easy Instant Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup
This Instant Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup is a perfect comfort food meal that comes together in minutes using your electric pressure cooker with amazing flavours! I love this soup during these cold February days that we’re currently experiencing. The spicy flavours add to the tang of the added lime juice, creating a delicious flavour. Beat the cold with this yummy soup. I also find that it’s can be so filling that it can be a full meal too!
I am participating in the Chicken Farmers of Canada campaign managed by SJ Consulting. I received compensation in exchange for my participation in this campaign. The opinions on this blog are my own.
I think this Instant Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup is now one of my favourite all-time soups. I love that we can add whatever toppings we want from the lime juice to chili peppers, crunchy tortilla chips or tortillas, cilantro, avocado and more. I tried to make this soup so that it had a bit of kick but mild enough that it wasn’t too spicy for my hubby and daughter. I spiced up my own bowl by adding some red chilis and jalapenos so it was a win-win for everyone.
I love the flavours that the fresh lime and cilantro add to the soup as the toppings and of course some shredded cheese that melted into some gooey goodness. My hubby and daughter love bell peppers (me not so much) so while they took a pass on the chili peppers they added some chopped yellow and orange bell peppers to their bowls. We each enjoyed our filling bowls of this Instant Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup. 
I loved throwing all the ingredients into the Instant Pot and just letting it do its thing. Once the Instant Pot reached pressure it was only six minutes of actual cooking in the pot. My soups tend to have lots of ingredients as I prefer a hearty soup over one that’s more broth than substance. That said if you don’t want quite as much as I do just cut back on whatever you want.
PIN this recipe for later!

Ingredients
- 6 cups chicken stock or broth

- 2 tbsp of tomato paste
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic finely minced
- 1 tsp chili powder (or 2 tsp if not using Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilis)
- 2 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp coriander (ground)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 3-4 boneless skinless chicken breast (depends on size & how much you want about .75kg or 1.5 lbs)

- 2 cups frozen corn kernels
- 1.5 tbsp lime juice
- Fresh lime wedges
- Chopped cilantro to taste (optional)

Instructions
- Add the chicken broth, diced tomatoes, onion and garlic to the instant pot.
- Add the chicken breasts next then top with all the spices on the chicken where possible.
- Add the corn and black beans no need to stir.
- Lock your Instant Pot lid and set to cook on manual high pressure for 6 minutes. (Note: Pressure takes several minutes to buiild)
- Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes. Use the quick release lever to release the rest of the pressure.

You may have heard me say it before but I’ll say it again I only use chicken that has the raised by a Canadian farmer logo.
Why we only buy and eat chicken with the raised by a Canadian farmer logo.
I actually have a long list of reasons but the ones closest to my heart are that as my husband and I are both small business owners aka we work for ourselves we also believe in supporting small businesses and our community. We get all of that and more when we buy chicken with the raised by a Canadian farmer logo. The majority of those farms are family owned and run and this means we’re all supporting and contributing to the Canadian economy. Pair that with the fact that I know we’re getting quality chicken that is hormone-free and raised to the highest animal care standards then I’m a happy mama. My family gets quality food that is ethically raised while supporting family-owned businesses that help our country’s economy. What’s not to like?
If your grocery store doesn’t carry chicken with this logo make sure to talk to the store manager and ask for them to bring it in. You won’t be sorry you did.
