Ingredients for Our Epic Soup
Before we jump into the delicious whirlpool of flavors, let’s gather our mighty ingredients!
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bell pepper, diced (any color that tickles your fancy)
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can corn, drained
- 1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa (because why not make it extra filling?)
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheese (optional but encouraged)
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Let’s Get Cooking!
Now, let’s turn this list into a bubbling pot of happiness:
- Heat It Up: In your Instant Pot, hook it up to the sauté function and add the olive oil. Once hot, toss in the chopped onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Sauté them until they’re soft and fragrant—this is where it all begins!
- Mix and Mash: Stir in the black beans, corn, diced tomatoes (with their fabulous juices), vegetable broth, cooked rice/quinoa, chili powder, cumin, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Give it a good stir to combine.
- Pressure It In: Close the lid, make sure the valve is sealed, and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes. After it beeps, let the pressure release naturally for about 10 minutes, then release the rest of the pressure.
- Cheesy Happiness: Stir the soup well and, if you’re feeling cheesy, sprinkle in that shredded cheese. Let it melt and weave magic into your soup.
- Garnish Away: Serve it up hot, sprinkle with fresh cilantro, and don’t forget to Instagram it before you devour!
There you have it — a soulful bowl of Vegetarian Enchilada Soup ready to bring joy to your dining experience. Enjoy every spoonful of this scrumptious creation!
