This Instant Pot Chicken Taco Soup Recipe has all of the flavors you love from Tacos in a comforting soup! Naturally gluten free and dairy free! This recipe is done in partnership with Pacific Foods.
What are you doing today? I know it’s Sunday and all so if you are home watching the game (or pretending to be watching while you browse online), make sure to come over to my Facebook Page at 1pm PST.
I’m going to be there doing a Facebook Live with Pacific Foods, making this Instant Pot Chicken Taco Soup recipe, answering your questions and trying to keep the kids from barging in on the action.
Come join me – I hope to see you there later today!!
Let’s talk about this soup. You know my family is obsessed with anything taco right? The kids will literally eat just about anything as long as it is ‘taco seasoned’ or some variation of the ingredients we generally use for tacos.
Can’t say I really blame them, I mean, tacos are amazing. This soup combines all of the flavors you love about tacos in a QUICK and comforting soup.
It’s loaded with ground chicken (I’ll talk about subs on FB Live today) and black beans so has tons of protein. The broth is made with a combination of Pacific Food’s Organic Diced Tomatoes and their Organic Low Sodium Chicken Broth, infused with onion and jalapeno. It’s so good and so easy.
I make this in the Instant Pot because it’s super quick and allows me to set it and forget it (#momlife) but see below for stove-top cooking instructions.
Happy Sunday and I hope to see you over on Facebook!

Peel and dice onion.
Finely chop jalapeno (If you want this MILD, only use half of a small jalapeno with very little of the seeds. For MEDIUM, use half of the jalapeno but include all of the seeds. For SPICY, use the whole jalapeno including the seeds).

If using canned beans, drain and rinse. Measure 1.5 cups (equal to one standard size can). Measure taco seasoning and gather remaining ingredients.

Turn Instant Pot to "Off". Add beans and diced tomatoes.

November 11, 2017 at 6:19 pmStill new to the IP. I LOVE it so far!! If I don’t do a quick release will the flavors be married together that much more? Or will I just cause the liquid to disappear? I don’t like onions (YUCK!) so I eliminated that step and just opted to add more flavor elsewhere. I do use a bit of onion powder though. Anyway hubby is coming home from work travel and I made this soup. He’s really opposed to ground chicken and turkey but I’m trying to get him to eat more of these vs. beef. It sure smells good! Fingers crossed ??
