Paleo Instant Pot Chicken Fajita Soup

It's cold outside and we are turning to comforting instant pot soups to help keep us warm. We are loving our Instant Pot and recently converted a family favorite recipe for Paleo Chicken Fajita Soup into Paleo Instant Pot Chicken Fajita Soup.

This Paleo Instant Pot Chicken Soup is hands-down one of the easiest, and most filling soups we've made. It's the perfect gluten-free chicken dinner recipe.

Super simple to throw together, ready in less than and hour, and almost mess-free, you are going to love this instant pot chicken soup! It's super healthy and flavorful. Add your favorite toppings and make it exactly the way that you want.

I've talked about it a bit in other posts, but we try to eat grain-free about 80% of the time. What that means is that we are grain-free with most of our meals, and allow ourselves an occasional gluten-free burger, gluten-free pizza, or treat.

My body doesn't do well with grains, so limiting how much gluten-free grains I eat is important to how I feel.

My husband on the other hand can tolerate grains just fine, so you might find him topping this Paleo Instant Pot Chicken Fajita Soup with some tortillas, or dipping a gluten-free quesadilla into the spicy broth.

Depending on the taco seasoning you use, this soup can get rather spicy. My husband and I like it spicy, but our girls don't. I usually use my homemade taco seasoning (it's pretty mild) and then top our soup with jalapenos for an extra kick.

We occasionally throw some avocado on top, or dairy-free sour cream. A squeeze of lemon on top really helps pull all the flavors together.

If you don't like spicy foods you can cut the amount called for in this Paleo Instant Pot Chicken Soup recipe in half.

You can use chicken breast in this recipe instead of chicken thigh meat. Fresh and frozen chicken both work, and the time stays the same. I don't count macros, but this recipe is fairly low in carbs and high in protien.

If you're not worried about your carb intake, you can add some black beans for extra flavor and texture.

What size is your instant pot?

We have a 6 quart, Ultra Instant Pot. You can make this Paleo Instant Pot Chicken Fajita Soup in any size instant pot.

Can I make this instant pot chicken soup in a slow cooker?

Sure. You can make this Paleo Instant Pot Chicken Soup in a slow cooker. Just throw all the ingredients into a slow cooker, set it to low and let it cook for 4-6 hours, depending on the size of your slow cooker.
