It's time for everything pumpkin spice and warm and cosy, and soup is topping our Fall food list. A favourite soup of mine to order is tortilla soup, but after making my own homemade version, I don't think I'll ever go back to the restaurant one. Melt-in-your-mouth chicken, bites of sweet corn, and chunks of creamy avocado — it doesn't get better than that. This recipe requires minimal prep and only seven minutes of cooking in the Instant Pot. Looking for a quick dinner to make for a crowd? Then it's time to try this recipe for delicious tortilla soup!
