Lets talk food for a minute. I don’t know about you, but I absolutely love food. One of my favorite recipes to cook is chicken tortilla soup. Now I actually have two different recipes for this, they don have the same ingredients, they dont’ have the same cooking techniques but they both taste amazing. Well at leas that is what my husband tells me.
The one I am going to share with you today I actually cook with the Instant pot. I got an Instant Pot for my birthday this past year. I know its a big deal right now to have one. I heard for a lot of busy families that they use it often and it saves them a lot of time. What I think they forgot to tell you before purchasing one, is that there is a lot of time spent on the instant pot warming up before it even starts the cooking time. Either way I still use and love mine. If you don’t have an instant pot, check this one out.

For a chicken tortilla soup not using a Instant Pot, stay tuned, ill post one version later.
Lets get on to the good stuff, the food.
The chicken tortilla soup can be made for a full course. Of course this is Mexican cuisine, so feel free to make this as sky as you would like. This is one of the easier recipes I have made with the Instant Pot. Total time to make it is about 15-30 minutes, 9 of those are those specific to the cook time. This is actually faster then my other recipe. I have served this meal for those are that Gluten Free (like my self) as well as those who are following a low carb diet. As yo start to read over the ingredients you will see the main ones are the chicken, chicken broth and of course the tortillas. I usually do not have a lot of left overs when I make it even though the serving nice is between 4-6

My secret is finally out. I have been told I make really great spinach artichoke dip. I am constantly asked the recipe and have been very hesitant to share the recipe, since I didn’t really follow a recipe when I would make it. Enough of me hording the Spinach Artichoke Dip recipe, its time for me to share. I have tried my best to identify the measurements of each of the ingredients I use. Of course try it this way and then make adjustments based on your taste buds. Please share with me what those adjustments are, I would love to see everyone’s creativity.
