Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Tortilla strips for serving
- Avocado, cilantro, and lime for garnish
Instructions
- Turn the Instant Pot to Sauté. Add a splash of oil, then brown the ground turkey with the chopped onion and garlic until no pink remains and the onion is soft.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, black beans, corn, and taco seasoning. Scrape any browned bits from the bottom to deglaze.
- Close the lid and cook on High Pressure for 10 minutes. Perform a quick release of the pressure.
- Taste and season with salt and pepper. For a thicker soup, mash a few beans in the pot or simmer with the lid off on Sauté.
- Ladle into bowls and top with tortilla strips, avocado, cilantro, and lime.
Notes
Swap ground turkey for ground chicken or lean beef if preferred. Use low-sodium broth and adjust salt at the end. Frozen corn is convenient and doesn’t need thawing.
