Continuing with our soup theme, our next Instant Pot recipe was found via Mealthy. Mealthy is a type of pressure cooker similar to Instant Pot which is what we’ve been using. It ran roughly $100 and had a couple more options than the popular alternative. So far our experiences have been great with it.
Mealthy focuses more on healthier pressure cooker recipes and through their app, we found a recipe for chicken tortilla soup. We’ll also be pinning this to our Pinterest page.

This was another easy recipe to knock out. Chicken tortilla soups is one of my favorite types of soup and while we wouldn’t put this up there with the best ever, we enjoyed the broth. The chicken could have used something to add some more flavor or spice to it. If you’re a cook and have any suggestions, we’re open to anything. It was definitely missing something. Would we try this again? Certainly but not without some modifications.
Happy Dining,
