Instant Pot Chicken Taco Soup is an easy soup recipe with chicken breasts, diced tomatoes, black beans, corn and chiles. Perfect for the pressure cooker!

If you’re looking for an easy dump and start Instant Pot recipe, you have to try this simple chicken taco soup! Just add everything to the pot and cook!

The first time I made this chicken soup in my Instant Pot, my daughter wasn’t feeling well and requested a bowl of spicy chicken soup for dinner. Since I wasn’t feeling all that great either, I made this soup as quick and easy as possible.

I used leftover rotisserie chicken and ingredients from my pantry. How simple is that? Plus, the soup took just 5 minutes to cook!

This soup recipe uses fresh chicken breasts, in case you don’t have leftover chicken. But it’s still super easy, and you probably have most of the ingredients in your pantry already!

As a bonus, chicken taco soup is low in calories and Weight Watchers friendly, with most ingredients at zero points. Just watch your toppings.

Chicken Taco Soup Ingredients

• Chicken breasts or rotisserie chicken or leftover chicken
• Chopped onion or dried minced onions
• Chicken broth
• Diced tomatoes
• Black beans
• Can corn or frozen
• Can diced green chiles
• Spices or taco seasoning

How to Make Taco Soup with Chicken in the Instant Pot

Place the chicken breasts in the Instant Pot, and sprinkle on the spices or taco seasoning. I use my own seasoning mix to cut down on sodium, but you can use a packet if that’s what you prefer.

Personally, I sprinkle some seasoning on the chicken and add the rest to the broth before cooking. But you can do whatever is easier.

Next, add the remaining ingredients. Don’t stir it, just dump everything in. Now, place the lid on the pot, and pressure cook your soup for 10 minutes.

The soup does take several minutes to reach pressure. But, the great thing about Instant Pot cooking is that you can walk away, take a rest or get other stuff done while you’re waiting!

Allow a 10 minute natural release after pressure cooking. Then, open up the pot, remove the chicken breasts, and shred ’em up.

Return the chicken back to the pot, stir it all up, and you’re ready to eat! Love those bright and vibrant colors!

Taco Soup Toppings

• Diced avocado or guacamole
• Sour cream
• Cilantro
• Pico de gallo or salsa
• Diced fresh tomatoes
• Tortilla chips or corn chips
• Shredded cheese
• Hot sauce

Make Chicken Taco Soup in the Crock Pot

Don’t have an Instant Pot? You can make chicken taco soup in the slow cooker.

Just add everything to the Crock-Pot, and cook for 3 hours on high or 6 hours on low. Shred the chicken, and serve!
