Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs. chicken breasts
- 2 Tbsp. oil avocado or olive oil
- 1 cup onion red or sweet, finely diced
- 1 green bell pepper finely diced
- 4 cups chicken broth regular sodium
- 16 oz. jar salsa mild or medium*
- 3 Tbsp. homemade taco seasoning or store bought*
- ½-¾ tsp. salt to taste
- 15 oz. can black beans rinsed and drained
- 15 oz can whole kernel corn drained
- 1 lime juiced
Optional Toppings:
- tortilla chips
- cilantro
- green onions
- avocado
- sour cream
Instructions
- Sauté Vegetables: Set a 6-quart Instant Pot to the sauté function and add oil, onions, and bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until vegetables become tender.
- Scrape the Pot: Pour in chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the pot to ensure there are no bits or pieces stuck.
- Add Seasonings, Corn, and Beans: Mix in salsa, taco seasoning, and salt. Place chicken breasts down into the liquid, making sure they’re completely submerged. Add rinsed and drained corn and black beans.
- Pressure Cook: Ensure the pressure release valve is sealed and set the Instant Pot to high pressure for 8 minutes. Let the contents sit for 10 minutes (10 minute NPR) before releasing the pressure valve.
- Shred Chicken: Shred the chicken breasts when the soup is done cooking. Stir in fresh lime juice just before serving.
- Serve soup with tortilla chips, fresh cilantro, green onions, sliced avocado, or sour cream. Enjoy!
Notes
- To Prep-Ahead: Dice the peppers and onions and make the taco seasoning. Or, since soup flavors improve with time you can make the entire recipe in advance.
- To Store: Leftover soup will last in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
- To Freeze: Store in a freezer-safe container for up to 6 months.
- To Reheat: Add the leftovers to a bowl and warm up in the microwave or heat up in a medium-sized skillet over medium-low heat.
