Instant Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup
Description
This soup recipe begins by combining boneless chicken breasts with canned black beans, diced tomatoes including green chilies, corn, onion, chicken broth, chili powder, cumin, and garlic salt directly in an Instant Pot. The mixture cooks under high pressure for 30 minutes, tenderizing the chicken and melding flavors quickly.
After pressure release, the chicken is removed and shredded before being stirred back into the soup, which results in a hearty, slightly spicy broth with tender meat and vegetables. Optional toppings such as shredded cheddar cheese, fresh cilantro, avocado slices, and tortilla chips add creaminess, brightness, and crunch respectively.
This soup works well for an easy dinner with a southwestern flair and can be a complete meal due to the protein and fiber content. It suits family meals where toppings can be personalized.
A note from the original recipe encourages letting children crush tortilla chips for fun and enjoyment during serving, making it interactive.
