Instapot Tortilla Soup (adapted from Fixate)

  • Author: Lawfully Lean

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 6 inch corn tortillasĀ 
  • 2 tsp EVOO
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 4 stalks celery, chopped
  • 3 14 oz cans of diced tomatoes (I mix up petite diced, fire roasted, and the one with green chiles)
  • 6 cups organic chicken broth
  • shredded meat from 1 rotisserie chicken Ā 
  • 3 medium carrots, sliced
  • 1 tsp dried oreganoĀ 
  • 1 tsp ground ancho chili powder (see note)
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepperĀ 

Toppings (Optional)

  • avocado (optional)
  • feta cheese (optional)
  • chopped cilantro (optional)
  • 2% greek yogurtĀ 

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350Ā 
  2. Place tortillas on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until toasted and crispy. Ā Remove and break into pieces. Ā 
  3. Set IP to sauté.  Add in EVOO and then your onion and celery.  Stir frequently, about 5 mins until your onion is translucent.  
  4. Add tomatoes, stir and let cook for about 5 mins. Ā Add in 2 cups of broth and broken tortillas. Ā Use an immersion blender and blend everything until smooth. Ā 
  5. Add the rest of the broth, carrots, chicken, and spices. Ā 
  6. Set on Manual Pressure — for 3 minutes. Ā 
  7. Perform a quick release. Ā I like to use my immersion blender again at this step (BRIEFLY) as it makes the soup creamier and shreds the chicken even more so. Ā The choice is yours!Ā 
  8. Serve in 1 1/2 cup portions. Ā Top with avocado, cilantro, feta and/or a dollop of greek yogurt! Ā 

Notes

Note. There are several kinds of chili powders you can use. You can go for regular chili powder (which is really a blend of ancho chili powder, paprika, cumin, and Mexican oregano) OR a straight up chili powder that is just chiles. Note. If you use a STRAIGHT chili powder, do NOT eyeball and start with a 1/4 tsp because that may be all you need (I made that mistake the hard way).
