Instant Pot Creamy Green Enchilada Chicken Soup. The warmest, coziest, and easiest to make soup ever! I was a fan of my slow cooker. It was my silent kitchen helper on busy days and evenings. Then along came my Instant Pot. And my whole world changed. Along with so many of you, I’m a big fan of the all-in-one-cooker.

I began experimenting with my new Instant Pot about 6 months ago. One of my first recipes in the miracle pot was this creamy soup version of chicken enchiladas. Our family loves Mexican inspired recipes like these enchiladas and these walking tacos and this tex-mex bean dip and this yummy, stick-to-your-ribs soup is added to the list.

what to serve with chicken enchilada soup ~ baked tortilla chips

Sure you can munch on a few premade tortilla chips with this ultra cozy and creamy soup. But let’s make some homemade tortilla chips in about 10 minutes. They are delicious with this chicken enchilada soup recipe.

  • I always have a few extra flour or corn tortillas on hand. Spray the tortillas with cooking spray, sprinkle with kosher salt and cut into wedges.
  • Place on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in a preheated 400 degree F oven for 5 minutes.
  • Flip the chips and cook another 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Watch them closely so them don’t get too brown. You want the chips to be a light golden brown.

Top the delicious, cozy and creamy soup with the homemade tortilla chips, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, tomato salsa, and cilantro.
