Chicken Enchilada Soup

I LOVE THIS SOUP! Mexican is my absolute favorite and this is a great way to lighten up a traditional Mexican feast but also feel fully satisfied.

I used to make this in the crockpot (if you need one, this is the best one) but now I make it in the instant pot (and if you need one – here it is!) – life changing!

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 8 oz can tomato sauce
  • 1-2 tsp chipotle chili in adobo sauce, add more or less based on your preference
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 15 oz can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 14.5 oz can petite diced tomatoes
  • 2 cups canned corn corn – extra crispy
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 skinless chicken breasts, 16 oz total

Directions:

  • Press saute on the Instant Pot. Add onion and garlic and sauté until soft, 3-4 minutes. Slowly add the chicken broth, tomato sauce and chipotle adobo sauce and cilantro.
  • Add the drained beans, diced tomatoes, corn, cumin, oregano and stir. Add the chicken breasts; cover and cook on high pressure for 20 minutes. Quick or natural release.
  • Remove chicken and shred with two forks. Add chicken back into the soup, adjust salt and cumin to taste.

I always have a topping bar – gives it the finishing touch it needs:

  • Cheddar Cheese
  • Scallions
  • Cilantro
  • Sour Cream
  • Avocado
  • Tortilla Chips
