What is an Instant Pot?
Unless you have not had the internet, pinterest, or have been generally living under a rock, you have at least heard of, or have seen the Instant Pot. It’s an amazing, all in one, kitchen appliance that you can brown, sautee, cook, and reheat in. All on the countertop, and without giving off a lot of heat.
This electric pressure cooker has presets for soup, chicken, stews, chili, and even yogurt. A twist of the lid, a touch of the button, and you have your next meal coming up fast.

Is this chicken enchilada soup dairy free?
Yes, the addition of coconut milk instead of regular milk makes it dairy free. You can certainly use regular milk if you’d prefer, or another type of non dairy milk such as almond or cashew if you need to avoid coconuts.
