Here is my Instant Pot Rotisserie Chicken Soup Recipes roundup! Homemade chicken broth made me a pressure cooking fanatic. I can have a pot of fantastic broth in under two hours. (With five minutes of actual work, mostly straining out the bones, and the rest of the time free while I wait for my Instant Pot.) I happily made chicken using leftover chicken carcasses and chicken backs. (And Thanksgiving turkey leftovers - but that's a different recipe.)
Then someone suggested a store-bought rotisserie chicken. Brilliant! I save the breast meat to use in the soup, then toss the rest of the carcass in the pot with some vegetables to make the broth. And then? You're ready for any chicken soup you can think of. Here are my ten favorite recipes, with a bonus 11th recipe on making the broth.

These are amazing looking recipes, but where we live there aren’t any rotisserie chickens anymore. After I got the email from you I planned to try a couple. When I got to the chain grocery store they said due to lack of employees that they did not have the staff to prep and cook them. The warming oven they put the done ones in was gone! So I asked where it was moved and that’s when I got the bad news. That store is 7 miles a way - round trip 14 miles. The cost of gas to go there is in California gas scalping price is about $6.99 or one gallon. The next closest store in Sprouts Farmers Market and it’s 12 miles away. I shop there every other week. They don’t have rotisserie chickens, they never have, but the do have shredded chicken breasts in clamshell packages in the deli. So I bought one and made the tortilla soup. Here’s where the lightbulb went on. I also bought a big bargain pricedpackage of skinless boneless breasts which were similar to the ones at Costco in their freezer. I cooked four of them from frozen in my 6 qt IP - I added a cup of my own homemade stock, plus a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar. Cooked high pressure 8 min, natural release so they did not get tough. Then I shredded some, cubed others and froze them. I’m not big on refreezing foods, but since they were destined for soups I figured it wouldn’t hurt. These soups are great for lunch and dinner.
