Isn't it funny how dinner time rolls around every night, yet sometimes we are TOTALLY unprepared? We know it's coming all day but sometimes we play dumb and just act like it's not going to happen today.
Well, I got your back. The answer to dinner time survival is two-fold...
- Plan, plan, plan.
- Have a list of go-to quick and wholesome meals like this Instant Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup.
Take a few minutes out of your day on Sunday to plan your weekly meals. Get your morning coffee and get busy. Flip through some magazines or print some recipes off of Seasonal Cravings.
I keep those recipes that my family loves in a binder and each week I pull out a few favorites. I try not to make more than one new meal each week just to keep it easy.
We always have at least one easy night like scrambled eggs or pancakes for dinner and we order pizza on Fridays.
Trust me having that weekly plan posted on the fridge makes you feel like you got this! It reduces my stress immensely and helps me to avoid the 5:00, what's for dinner dilemma.
Another way I love to streamline my weekly meal planning is heading to my local Harris Teeter. I am in Harris Teeter at least twice a week! Learn more about meal planning here with my Meal Planning Guide.
I love how easy it is for me to pick up wholesome, organic products for my go to weekly meals. Their organic products are non-GMO and free of artificial preservatives and antibiotics so I can feel good about feeding them to my family. I am always amazed by how many organic products they have available.
My goal is to find less complicated ways to get wholesome food on the table for my family and Harris Teeter helps me make this happen. I can make my weekly spaghetti, sheet pan fajitas or tacos with affordable organic products! That's a huge win in my house.
This Instant Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup is made with Organic Harris Teeter Chicken Broth, Black Beans, Corn and Fire Roasted Tomatoes. It's loaded with chili powder, cumin and paprika for some extra kick.
This is super easy to make because I usually have all these ingredients on hand in my pantry. The kids love adding toppings like cheese, sour cream and avocado. Okay, they don't eat the avocado but I DO!
Is Chicken Tortilla Soup Healthy?
Heck yes! Here are a few of the health benefits...
- beans are loaded with fiber, protein, and antioxidants
- tomatoes contain the antioxidant lycopene
- cilantro is a good source of antioxidants
- make this soup - it's good for you!
Trust me, put this Instant Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup on your weekly meal plan this week. I think you'll be happy with it and you'll love having those leftovers for lunch the next day!

My son Sean lives in Charleston and shops at Harris Teeter all the time. He would love this tortilla soup too! It's one of his faves!
I live right down the street from a Harris Teeter! I also love putting my meal plan on the fridge. It really is a life saver/game changer. I actually made a basic tortilla soup last week, but will use any excuse to pull out my Instant Pot so I’m putting this one on a future meal plan.

Hi there,
I am looking forward to making this recipe on Sunday and enjoying it as a week night dinner. How long would you estimate the soup stay good in the fridge? Should I freeze it?
Thank you!
