Easy Instant Pot Chicken Taco Soup Recipe

Have you started using your Instant Pot yet? I don’t know about you, but I am in love with this gadget. Not only is it easy to use, but the meals always turn out amazing. One of my favorites to make is this yummy Taco Soup and this delicious Instant Pot Beef Tips and Rice recipe.

I must admit that I wasn’t sold on the Instant Pot when I first received it. Why? I was worried about all of the buttons and numbers that I would blow something up and tear a hole in my ceiling. (I really was scared!) Fast forward several months later and it is one of my favorite kitchen gadgets of all time.

What do I love about the Instant Pot? It makes quick work out of dinner and saves me precious time. In fact, I have an Instant Pot cheatsheet you can grab for free if you are new to using the Instant Pot.

How to Make Instant Pot Chicken Taco Soup

I have always had a ton of delicious soup recipes and it has been fun converting them over the last year to the Instant Pot settings. I must admit I was shocked at how delicious everything turned out and how easy everything was to make. This Instant Pot Chicken Taco Soup is no exception.

Before we dive into the recipe let’s go over a few things to make this the best chicken taco soup ever:

  • Sautéing the onion and bell pepper before making the soup is key. It really does add another level of flavor to this recipe.
  • Make sure to deglaze the Instant Pot before cooking the soup. You don’t want any error notices popping up in the middle of cooking.
  • Consider making a larger batch so you can freeze any leftovers for future easy dinners.
