    I am thinking to make the chicken tortilla soup in advance, say 2 to 3 days in advance. What would you recommend I do in advance and which steps should I do the day that I serve the soup?

    I really enjoy learning from you about how to use the instant pot (as well as the other kitchen tools you've recommended). I also enjoy hearing about your childhood favorite dishes, some of which are also mine and which I hadn't seen in such a very long time. I came across your channel, because I wanted to learn how to use the instant pot to cook Chinese dishes. You and Dude once called your kitchen an 'ugly kitchen', but for me, the 'ugly kitchen' makes me feel like it's my own home, so it feels comfortable watching you prepare ingredients and cook. There's so many reasons why I enjoy watching you Flo and your husband Dude !!

    I made the soup tonight. It was AWESOME!!! My husband loved it (and he's the best cook in this house). It far surpassed the boxed soup that we used to get and loved. 🙂 Thanks again for posting it.

    No, no no! You actually saute good quality corn tortillas from the Mexican store, for the base… No cream involved, why would there be? Cheese and sour cream as toppings (and lots of other stuff)
    Maybe I live in Arizona, USA…

    Are they organic chicken thighs? I don't spend more than $1.99 per pound for chicken. I watch carefully because I make my own pet food.
    I love my Instant Pot. BTW.

    Your talking my language with this soup. I’m originally from Texas and TexMex was a staple food. I’ve lived in Saskatoon for 36yrs now and make Mexican food regularly. This looks sooo delicious and I will definitely be making this in my Instant Pot! Once again, you and Dude are the BOMB!❤️

    Is there a place to print off the recipe? I went to your site, and did not see this recipe listed.

    Also, a Chipotle is a smoked Jalapeño. The can juice is great to add to things. I add a bit to eggs or omelettes in the morning. So Yummy.

    It is kinda neat to see how they make Chipotle’s, so I suggest checking out YouTube vids about that.

    Also, I love the Binford 5000 Man Handblender you have, which you used into this recipe. A Manblender if you will. Tim Allen would be proud. insert grunting noises here

    Just now watched this segment and I heard you mention my name. Thank You. I hope you get many hours of use out of it and save your finger tips from the dreaded knife.. I love your recipes and I use my IP almost day. Just cooking for three my daughter (50 yrs old), my stepson (56 yrs old) and me I'm 75. Just finished cooking some pork spare ribs in the IP along with a vegetable rarely used "Parsnips". Interesting flavor… Tell Dude I said HI!

    1- I've never thought about using my pastry scraper to pick up chopped onions – been using my knife all my life.
    2- That is one ginormous hand blender!
    3- we moved from the Chicago area to Arlington, TX 3.5 y ago. Since I got my Crock Pot Express, we've been eating a wide variety of Tex Mex meals. I feel almost guilty hearing your price for avacados!

    Flo & Dude, entertaining and informative, as usual! I'm a Texas girl, so I'm really familiar with TexMex. I've been looking for a quick, tasty Chicken Tortilla soup recipe and yours fills the bill! On the next Costco run, check the frozen food aisles for frozen avocado cubes. If you don't see them, ask the manager. Another TexMex flavor to add to your arsenal is masa harina. It has a distinctive flavor and texture, very different from cornmeal. I'm going to sub the cream in the recipe with it. Same smooth texture, with an earthy flavor. It thickens my red beans and goes in my cornbread instead of flour. If you have a Latin market, get it there rather than from Amazon.
