Pressure Cooker Chicken Enchilada SoupIt’s been so cold here lately and that means it’s soup weather. My Instant Pot has been getting a workout making some of my favorites, Pressure Cooker Taco Soup, and Low Carb Instant Pot Sausage and Kale Soup but I needed a change and this week I made a big pot of this amazing Pressure Cooker Chicken Enchilada Soup. I get my soup inspiration from my favorite meals and chicken enchiladas are kinda my Tex-Mex thing.

This easy chicken enchilada soup recipe takes a few things from my Pressure Cooker Taco Soup and combines them with rich red enchilada sauce, diced chilis, and shredded chicken. The best part about it is that it only takes about 30 minutes to make and the only thing that you have to prep are the onions.
You start by setting your Instant Pot to SAUTE, adding your onions and cooking them for about 5 minutes until they have softened. Then you add the rest of the ingredients, lock the lid in place, and cook on HIGH pressure for 20 minutes. Then let it do a natural release for 5 minutes before releasing the rest of the steam. Remove that perfectly tender chicken from the pot and use a fork to shred it before adding it back to the soup. Then grab a ladle and serve up this amazing Pressure Cooker Chicken Enchilada Soup!
What you will need to make Pressure Cooker Chicken Enchilada Soup:

This was so yummy! I used a bag of frozen yellow and white corn and a can of mild chiles for my little eaters. Perfect!
I made this recipe and it was amazing! The chicken fell apart and I ate like three bowls????. I did make some instant rice on the stove while it was cooking and added to it. I loved it so much!
Thanks for the recipe! I added another 1lb of chicken because we like meat! I also only added 1 cup of broth – I felt like with all the liquid from the canned items that it would be too much. But the flavor was great. I’ll be honest I was worried because there was no seasoning added but it tasted really good. I topped with sour cream, avocado, cilantro and made cheese quesadillas! Thank you!
If i my chicken is frozen would it be the same cooking time?
Add an additional 15 mins if the chicken is frozen.
Delicious! Making this tonight for the 3rd time and I make it at least once a month! I use red kidney beans because the pickier eaters in the fam don’t like black beans but it doesn’t change the flavor that much. I also added a dash of chili powder last time and it opens up your nose if you’re congested. I serve it with sour cream and tortilla strips after it comes out of the instant pot and they’re the perfect addition to it!! Absolutely delicious recipe! Thank you so much for this recipe! It’s now a family favorite!!
Thank you so much. I can’t tell you how happy reviews like this make us 🙂
