Instant Pot Chicken Taco Soup

from ButterYum

makes 6 generous servings

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 1/2 pounds chicken breasts (boneless, skinless), cut into large pieces

  • 4 cups water

  • 2 knorr chicken bouillon cubes

  • 2 packets taco seasoning (any heat level)

  • 4 cans (10oz) rotel tomatoes, undrained (any kind)

  • 2 cans (14oz) black beans, rinsed and drained

  • 10 oz canned or frozen corn kernels, drained

  • Garnish: sour cream, shredded cheese, sliced scallions, chopped cilantro or parsley, tortilla strips, etc.

DIRECTIONS

  • Place water, bouillon cubes, and taco seasoning in instant pot and stir to combine, then stir in chicken pieces; place lid on and be sure the vent is set to “sealing”.

  • Cook on “manual” or “high pressure” for 20 minutes, then allow the pressure to release naturally for an additional 20 minutes.

  • Manually release any remaining pressure; remove chicken, shred with 2 forks, and return to pot.

  • Stir in undrained canned tomatoes, drained black beans, and corn; stir well and serve.

NOTES

  • To make in slow cooker, place all ingredients in cooker and cook on low for 8 hours; remove chicken, shred, and return to slow cooker. Stir well and serve.

  • I had some okra slices stashed away in the freezer so I tossed them in and they were a great addition.
