Tip for making the best Instant Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup:
I use a small food chopper or processor to quickly and easily chop onions and green peppers. If you do not have one of these, I highly recommend them. They are such a time saver.
I usually just chop the entire vegetable and freeze what I don’t need. It’s so nice to be able to just take diced onion or bell peppers out of the freezer for recipes.
This is how I meal prep. It’s so quick and easy and helps get dinner on the table fast.

In fact, I cut our grocery bill by 50% off by following these 8 Tips for for Saving Money on Groceries by Menu Planning! Save that money for a family vacation or maybe just some wiggle room in the budget.
You can also try using chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts in this recipe. I often just use what I have in the freezer or what is on sale at the grocery store.
Another idea it to add black beans or other beans in recipes to stretch the meat.
This is how I keep our grocery budget reasonable. By shopping when things are on sale I save money on groceries and it really helps our budget.
Every little bit helps and it all adds up.

This looks wonderful, and is one of my favorite soups, but the nutrition facts say this soup has 46 carbs. It is marked low carb and to me that is definitely not low carb. Could you please tell me what a serving size is? Thank you, Carrie.
