INSTANT POT CREAMY CHICKEN CHILI SOUP
If you haven’t heard yet, we’re (I’m) completely obsessed with our Instant Pot and this recipe: Instant Pot Creamy Chicken Chili Soup.
(As an Amazon Affiliate, I may earn from links).
At first the Instant Pot was extremely scary and we stayed away and thought… we have a Crock Pot, we’re good.
SO SO SO WRONG!!
We can’t even explain to you how wrong that is. This Instant Pot that we bought on Amazon has changed our lives completely. Every meal has been such a success with this all in one appliance and we couldn’t recommend you getting one ANY sooner!
If you’re not familiar with the Instant Pot yet, it’s a pressure cooker, slow cooker, saute machine, rice cooker, yogurt cooker, soup maker, meat roaster, oat machine, steamer, warmer etc. etc. etc.
We could literally go on with endless possibilities with this major appliance. We’ve had ours a few weeks and have made so many tasty recipes already. One of the favorites by far has been this Instant Pot Creamy Chicken Chili Soup.
All ingredients (including raw chicken) are placed in the Instant Pot and cooked quickly and wonderfully. The Instant Pot gives each meal so much more flavor than a regular Slow Cooker. It’s so much easier, you don’t have to cook the food all day long to receive slow cooked flavor. But the food you cook quickly has such dimension to it, and taste’s like the simple ingredients boosted in all their flavors.
The trick to figuring this appliance out is the method of the pot:
- Once the pressure is released after cooking, the baby is ready to open
- You release pressure two ways: natural release & manual release
- Always use 1 cup of liquid at least
- Don’t overfill the pot, there is a line to help you!
With these tips & tricks you’re ready to make anything and everything your heart desires!
For this Creamy Chicken Chili Soup (it’s consistency is in the middle of chili and soup) is basically a place & cook. The toppings really make the soup next level with fresh avocado, a squeeze of lime juice, sour cream and a sprinkle of cheese.
Can’t wait for you to try this heavenly recipe in your Instant Pot and if you don’t have one you need to own one!

When do you add the 32oz of broth? Or do you just add a little to the sour cream? There is no part where it says to add rest of broth.
