Notes

If you're a little short on time. You can use precooked chicken. Another option would be to do this recipe on the stovetop which would cut your cooking time to about 45 minutes total. I just love how simple it is to fix in the Crock Pot.

Pressure Cooker Directions: Put all ingredients except the garnishes and cream cheese into your pressure cooker. Seal and cook on high pressure for 25 minutes. Release pressure. Remove chicken and shred or slice. Return the chicken back to the pot. Add cream cheese. Stir. Then serve in bowls topped with shredded cheddar cheese and Cool Ranch Doritos as garnishes.

An Entry Level Recipe You Can’t Mess Up But Tastes Amazing

As you can see from the recipe, you just can’t go wrong when you whip up a batch of this Chicken Tortilla Soup.  So easy to make, even a child can do it!  The ingredients are simple, yet combined together offer a delightful flavor that can’t be beat.

Add All Prepped Ingredients To Your Crock Pot

The beauty of this recipe is that all the ingredients are tossed into your slow cooker and then forgotten about for most of the day!  While the recipe calls for 6 hours, you could definitely alter by setting the temp to low if you needed to let it cook longer.

Give A Stir Before Serving

Once the ingredients are all cooked and you’ve shredded or cubed the chicken, be sure to thoroughly stir before serving.

End With Your Garnishes

To add both a garnished flair and the perfect finishing flavor, top your bowl of soup with shredded sharp cheddar cheese and some crushed Cool Ranch Doritos (the blue bag).

Can Also Be Made In A Pressure Cooker

As mentioned in the recipe, you can also make this recipe easily in your Instant Pot or other brand pressure cooker.  Just put all ingredients except the garnishes and cream cheese into your pressure cooker. Seal and cook on high pressure for 25 minutes. Release pressure. Remove chicken and shred or slice. Return the chicken back to the pot. Add cream cheese. Stir. Then serve in bowls topped with shredded cheddar cheese and Cool Ranch Doritos as garnishes.
