This Healthy Instant Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup (no beans) is perfect for a weeknight when you need a healthy meal done in 30 minutes!

This Healthy Instant Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup (no beans!) will be your next favourite lifesaver of a weeknight meal.

Put 6 ingredients in the Instant Pot and before you know it, you’ll have a gluten-free and super yummy meal the whole family will dig into😋

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious Instant Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup (no beans!):

3 chicken breasts (fresh or frozen – either works)
Taco spice mix – you can use a pre-made one or make your own with these spices you probably have in your spice cupboard
2 cups of corn – frozen or canned works
6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 container of fresh salsa (2 cups) – I like Garden Fresh’s Wild Mild

I mean, ready in 25 min and completely hands off? Sign me up Susan😉

This recipe is from my friend Jolene who made it up on a whim and her kids ate it up.

As do mine.

Healthy and easy weeknight meals that are also gluten-free are always welcome in my house and this Instant Pot Chicken Soup fits the bill nicely.

Can I use regular (non-fresh) salsa?

Definitely. I’ve used both and the regular (jarred) salsa works just fine in my books. If you have regular, jarred salsa, use 2 cups for the recipe.

What if my chicken breasts are solid frozen?

No problem! Put em in and keep the time the same. It works like a charm every time.

This recipe is so easy and healthy – why didn’t you share it sooner?

I know, right?!

Hope you love this Instant Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup😋

If you don't have fresh salsa, regular jarred salsa works fine
