Instant Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this hearty dish:

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1 zucchini, diced
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes (with juices)
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Tortilla strips, for serving
  • Optional toppings: avocado, cheese, cilantro, lime juice

Instructions

Follow these easy steps to create a bowl of warmth that everyone will love:

  1. Start by selecting the sauté function on your Instant Pot. Once hot, add the olive oil, then toss in the diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the chicken breasts, zucchini, black beans, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, taco seasoning, salt, and pepper into the pot.
  4. Close the lid of the Instant Pot and seal the vent. Set to high pressure for 10 minutes. Once done, allow for a natural release for about 5 minutes, then switch to quick release to release any remaining pressure.
  5. Carefully remove the chicken breasts and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken back into the soup and stir well.
  6. Serve hot, topped with tortilla strips and any additional toppings you desire!
