Easy Chicken Tortilla Soup Recipe

How do I make this a Chicken Tortilla Soup Slow Cooker recipe?

It’s as simple as adding all of the ingredients to your cook pot except for the tortilla strips and cook on low for 6-8 hours.

How do I use my Instant Pot to shred the chicken?

First I used my Instant Pot to cook the chicken breast. I simply put all of the chicken in (it was frozen too!) with 1 cup of broth and let it cook for 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes in the Instant Pot the chicken shredded with ease. I drained the broth and then used the Instant Pot to cook the soup.

How do I make this easy chicken tortilla soup recipe?

Add all of the ingredients except for the garnishes and tortillas to the instant pot and cook on the soup setting.
While the soup is cooking you can make the tortilla strips by either frying them in oil on the stove top, or brushing them with oil and broiling them in the oven for 2 or so minutes. Keep a close eye if you broil. Another option is adding crushed tortilla chips to the top.

If you want to make this in the crock pot just add all of the ingredients minus the cilantro garnish and tortilla chips to the crock pot (already cooked and shredded chicken only) and cook on low for 6 hours. Enjoy!
