How To Make Southwest Chicken Soup
- Combine ingredients: In an electric pressure cooker, add diced chicken, enchilada sauce, diced tomatoes, black beans, corn, chilies, cumin, and chicken stock.
- Set the cooker: Set your pressure cooker for 30 minutes on the “Soup/Stew” setting.
- Release pressure and season: Once the timer goes off, release the pressure. Season the soup with salt to taste.
- Serve and garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped cilantro, shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, and lime wedges. Enjoy!
Recipe Tips
- Adjust the spice level: You can make the soup milder or spicier by adding more or less green chilies or cumin to suit your taste.
- Use rotisserie chicken: For an even quicker meal, swap the raw diced chicken with rotisserie chicken to save cooking time.
- Make it creamy: For a creamier soup, add a splash of heavy cream or a dollop of sour cream before serving.
- Add more veggies: Feel free to add in extra veggies like bell peppers, zucchini, or carrots for added nutrition and texture.
- Garnish generously: Don’t skip the garnishes! They really enhance the flavor and texture of the soup, giving it that extra pop.
