I’ve got a quick and easy delicious Instant Pot chicken tortilla-less soup for you. It’s made with delicious and easy to find ingredients and will be all finished cooking in just 10 minutes. This soup is dairy free, whole30 compliant and keto, too!
A chicken tortilla-less soup that can be made SO many different ways!
What if I told you this soup is the answer to all of your quick and easy weeknight meal wishes?
Well, it is. If you’ve got an Instant Pot or a pressure cooker, it will be ready in just 10 minutes after it gets up to high pressure. If you don’t have one, no sweat!
You can totally make chicken tortilla-less soup on the stovetop or in a crock pot as well… just peep the instructions to find out how!
When making a soup like this, I always recommend using chicken thighs as they are the most succulent part of the chicken *in my humble opinion.*
However, you can ultimately use chicken breast if you wanted to. Since you’ll be throwing it into a pressure cooker or cooking it low and slow, the breast will taste damn tasty, too!
I’m just a thigh girl. Team thicks thighs, am I right?
I love this time of the year because you all seem to love me dishing up all of the quick soup and stew recipes. They are some of my favorite things to develop because they make the best leftovers.
I took a bit of a poll on Instagram yesterday, and it seems like you are also interested in more soup recipes, one pot recipes and side dishes.
I’ll be sure to take that into consideration as I continue developing recipes this season!

I am going to be coming out with so many whole30 compliant dishes, as this time of the year *surprisingly* is when you seem to guzzle them up most.
This has always boggled my mind because the last thing I can think about during the holidays, is completing a Whole30.
But more power to you 🙂 … or maybe you are just planning ahead for January.
Either way, you’ll be getting so much delicious whole30 goodness very, very soon.
Back to this Instant Pot chicken tortilla-less soup though…
I decided to add some shredded grass-fed cheese for Tim because he doesn’t have any issues with dairy intake.
If you leave off the cheese, this recipe is 100% whole30 compliant but be sure to add some on if you’re keto or don’t have a problem with dairy.
The coconut cream that is mixed into the chicken tortilla-less soup provides it with a perfect creaminess and subtle sweet flavor. Don’t skimp out on it and feel free to add more or less depending on your taste preference.
How do you do with dairy consumption?
I used to be able to have it in small quantities, but since I have started breast feeding, I’ve come to notice how sensitive Sophie is to it as well.
That being said, I really miss heavy whipping cream in my coffee. Have you done that? It’s a game changer.
Well, it’s time to add this fabulous instant pot chicken tortilla-less soup to the lineup.
You are going to be so glad you did, as it will save you a ton of time in the kitchen with prep.
The recipe is absolutely friendly for the entire family. Just be sure to go easy on the peppers if your kids are going to be enjoying a few bowls, too.
In just a few short months, I’m totally giving Sophie girl a few bites to try. Mm, mmm, mmm! 🙂

Once the pressure has been released, remove the chicken thighs and shred using two forks. Add back to the soup, stir in the roasted sweet potatoes and taste for seasoning (salt and pepper.) Enjoy!
Slow Cooker
- Set the Crock Pot to low heat for 6-8 hours. Add in the oil and once it is hot, sauté onions, bell peppers and garlic in the oil for about 4-5 minutes until the onions have become soft.

Recipe Notes
The shredded cheese you see in a few of the photos is for keto eaters. If you'd like to keep the soup 100% Whole30 compliant, simply omit the cheese garnish!
