  • 1/2 medium yellow onion chopped
  • 4 ounces chopped green chiles
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup water
  • 14.5 ounces chicken broth
  • 2 teaspoons cumin

Instructions

  • Add the chicken breast to the instant pot, followed by chicken broth, water, seasonings, tomatoes, pinto beans, corn, and onions. Top with a bay leaf.
  • Close the lid and set the pressure valve to the sealing position. Select Manual/Pressure Cook and set it for 14 minutes. 
  • After cooking, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes followed by a quick release. Open the lid after the pin drops.
  • When the soup is ready, remove the bay leaf, shred the chicken, and smash the whole tomatoes before serving.
    *Note - I add my chicken and the whole tomatoes to my kitchen aid mixer to shred the chicken and crush the tomatoes.
