If you like soup with a whole lot of flavor, you are going to love this Instant Pot Chicken Taco Soup. Bursting with tomatoes, corn, beans, and shredded chicken, this soup is perfect any time of the year and cooks up so quickly in your pressure cooker.
This is easily one of my favorite go-to soup recipes. I love that it is hearty, has lots of protein, plus it is full of vegetables and fiber. And if you are looking for a great dish to serve on Cinco de Mayo, look no further! It goes great with a beer or a margarita…just sayin! You can find this recipe and whole bunch more delicious and family friendly meals for your IP in my Instant Pot Recipes archive!
This recipe has been a long time favorite of mine and it shows up in our family’s dinner rotation quite frequently because I feel like it is a perfectly well rounded meal. You might remember my Crockpot Taco Soup (please ignore the awful photography…that recipe was due for a photo overhaul like yesterday!) which is basically the same recipe but I just adjusted the cook time for those of you wanting to make it in your IP.

A few quick notes!
- I love to use a bottle of beer for the liquid component in this recipe but if you don’t have any on hand/don’t like beer you can always use chicken stock. It still turns out just as delicious.
- I never buy store bought taco seasoning because it is super easy to make your own (see my DIY Taco Seasoning Recipe here…which I usually quadruple when I make it!) If you are using homemade, add two heaping tablespoons in place of one taco seasoning packet.
- I like a bit of spice in my taco soup. I you do not I suggest using plain diced tomatoes (or cutting them up yourselves) instead of using the Rotel type with the green chiles added.
- If you really like spice (like me) add in some fresh jalapeño when serving up your bowl…sooooo good!
To make this chili you will need an Instant Pot or other type of pressure cooker of your choice. Just make sure to follow the manufacturer’s directions to your pressure cooker.
