Instructions:
Follow these easy steps to whip up this tasty soup:

- Add the chopped onion and cook until it’s translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the chicken breasts to the pot, followed by the black beans, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, cumin, and chili powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Close the lid of the Instant Pot and make sure the valve is set to sealing. Cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.
- Once the cooking time is done, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then perform a quick release for any remaining pressure.
- Carefully remove the chicken breasts and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken back to the pot and stir to combine.
- Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh cilantro, avocado slices, and a sprinkle of crushed tortilla chips for added crunch.
