I have always loved tortilla soup. This recipe is another adaptation from something that usually takes hours to a quicker Instant Pot version that is delish! I originally planned to have this for a week when planning but ate all of it in a couple of days it was so good. Full Disclosure: I hate cilantro so I leave it out.

Cooking brings me joy especially when doing it for others. I live in San Antonio, Texas but I have Creole and Italian roots...cooking is in my blood. Sometimes I feel like a mad scientist in the kitchen but my experiments often yield delicious results!
