I think anyone who knows me well is aware of the fact that I have a major soup addiction. I can eat it pretty much all day, any day. Lunch? Awesome. Dinner? Definitely. I’ve even been known to have some for breakfast.

The house fills with amazing smells and I go about my day, knowing a satisfying meal is a few hours away. Let’s be real, though, most days as a busy working mama of two littles are not super well suited to time intensive recipes. Dinner needs to get on the table and toddlers need to be chased around. Enter: our Instant Pot Salsa Verde Chicken Soup….
