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.

Anabel says

I have a 3 quart Instant Pot. Can I make this or should I half the recipe?

Angie S says
SO GOOD! This is a great pantry meal. I added a can of drained black beans and I only had 1 can of diced tomatoes so I added a can of tomato juice in it’s place. We also were out of fresh or frozen chicken but had canned (larger ones from Costco) chicken and used two of those. As the chicken was already cooked, I did HP for 10 minutes.
On a side note, it would be great if you could add a jump to recipe link at the top of your page…
Ellie says
I am assuming the 30 min factors in the chicken being frozen right?
Dana Andersen says
How do I prepare this ahead? I want to make al the meals for the week because I do not get home until 630. Just make it up and freeze?
