Instant Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup

A comforting and quick chicken tortilla soup made in the Instant Pot, featuring tender chicken, black beans, and vibrant spices in a savory broth.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb shredded chicken
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can diced tomatoes
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can corn, drained
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Avocado, for topping
  • Cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Set your Instant Pot to sauté mode. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until soft and fragrant.
  2. Introduce the diced tomatoes, black beans, corn, chicken broth, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper to the pot. Give it a good stir to combine all those flavors.
  3. Close the lid, ensuring the valve is set to sealing for the pressure cooking phase.
  4. Set to pressure cook for 10 minutes; during this time, the ingredients will meld beautifully.
  5. Once the cooking is complete, allow for a natural pressure release for 10 minutes before switching to a quick release.
  6. If using shredded chicken, stir it in now and let it heat through before serving.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with avocado and fresh cilantro for a beautiful touch.

Notes

Feel free to get creative with toppings, such as crushed tortilla chips or a dollop of sour cream.
