For an even richer flavor, consider browning the chicken thighs in the Instant Pot® before adding the other ingredients. This adds depth and complexity to the soup. Adjust the amount of adobo sauce from the chipotle peppers according to your spice preference. A little goes a long way! Feel free to substitute the chicken thighs with chicken breasts if preferred. Adjust cooking time accordingly. For a creamier soup, blend a portion of the soup before adding the shredded chicken back in. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime for an extra burst of freshness.

Pour in the chicken stock, then add the chicken thighs, black beans, fire-roasted tomatoes, green chilies, carrots, celery, salt, cumin, chili powder, oregano, and adobo sauce. Stir thoroughly to combine. (Total time: ~5 minutes)
03
Step
15 mins
Secure the lid, ensuring it's locked in place. Select manual high pressure and set the timer for 17 minutes. Allow 10-15 minutes for the pressure to build naturally.
04
Step
5 mins
Once the timer concludes, carefully release the pressure using the quick-release method as per the manufacturer's instructions. (Time: ~5 minutes). Unlock and remove the lid.

Retrieve the chicken and, using two forks, shred it into delectable pieces. Return the shredded chicken to the pot. Infuse with lime juice and adjust the salt seasoning to your liking.

Ladle the vibrant soup into bowls and crown with tortilla strips, shredded Cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, diced avocado, a scattering of jalapeno pepper slices, and a generous drizzle of hot sauce.

Jun 16, 2025A little too spicy for my kids, I'll reduce the chili powder and adobo sauce next time. But overall, a great recipe!
