I love a good chicken tortilla soup. I love this new instant pot version of chicken tortilla soup. It tastes delicious, is 0 Weight Watchers Points, and cooks for 30 minutes once the Instant Pot comes to pressure.
This soup is so easy to put together. You just add some frozen corn, onion, beans, and a can of Ro*tel to the pot. Next, you’ll need some chicken, seasonings, broth and crushed tomatoes. It’s that easy.
To serve you and crushed tortilla chips or tortilla strips. Now this soup is 0 points with out the tortillas. If you add in the tortillas or any other toppings, you’ll need to account for them. I’m good with a little shredded cheese and sour cream. It I had cilantro and lime, I would add those too.
