This recipe for Instant Pot Creamy Chicken Tortilla Soup is flavorful, creamy and super easy to make.

The weather is finally starting to cool down a little over here, cool 60 degree days which are a welcome respite from the 90 degree heat we were experiencing for much of October.

I love Summer a whole lot but sometimes it’s nice for some cooler weather. It’s like everything, right? You always appreciate how great something is when it’s a little further removed. Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Although, I’m pretty fond of Summer. I try to remind myself every day while we’re in the seasons to just appreciate them for what they are. Being intentional about being content and grateful for everything as it comes is a real blessing and I’ve noticed in my own life this has made a great impact. Try it! Let me know what you think.

Then let’s try this Creamy Chicken Tortilla Soup.

The Instant Pot makes this super easy but you could also easily make this in a soup pot on the stove, just adjust times accordingly.

It goes perfect with a chilly rainy day which is what we’re having today 🙂 looks like I know what I’m having for dinner!
