Want to whip up a batch of zesty soup but don’t have much time? Try this delicious instant pot chicken tortilla soup recipe. You can even use frozen chicken in this flavorful instant pot soup recipe.

I love a good chicken tortilla soup. It reminds me of the days I worked as a technical recruiter in San Francisco. I would get San Francisco Soup Company’s chicken tortilla soup at least once a week.

It was so flavorful and always filled me up, despite being a soup. It kept me full all through the afternoon and on my hour commute home. 

That’s when you know it’s a good meal-sized soup. It fills you up and keeps you full.

This instant pot chicken tortilla soup recipe does the same thing. It fills your family up and keeps them full all night long.

It tastes so good, especially with fresh cilantro sprinkled on top.

The other great thing about this instant pot chicken breast recipe is how quick and easy it is to make. You really just need to dump a few ingredients in and push start!

This soup also freezes well and makes excellent leftovers. Chicken tortilla soup is one of my favorite soups (right below broccoli cheddar soup).

It works as a great meal both in the cold and hot months because it is so refreshing.

Making soup in the instant pot saves me time and allows me to cook it with frozen chicken breasts.

Using frozen chicken is one of my favorite ways to cook in my instant pot because I don’t have to plan ahead and pull the meat out to defrost during the busy morning.
