Follow The Directions

01

Step

Season the chicken generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Add the seasoned chicken, carrot, celery, black beans, corn, tomato paste, cumin, chili powder, and chicken broth to a 6-quart Instant Pot. (3 minutes)

03

Step

Lock the lid and ensure the pressure release valve is closed. Pressure cook on High pressure for 5 minutes. The Instant Pot will take approximately 10-15 minutes to reach pressure before the timer begins counting down.

04

Step

Once the 5-minute cooking time is complete, carefully perform a quick-release of the pressure. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot. (3 minutes)

06

Step

Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or chili powder to your preference. (1 minute)

07

Step

Serve hot, garnished with crispy tortilla strips, fresh chopped cilantro, creamy avocado, and/or sliced jalapeño pepper for a spicy kick. (2 minutes)

For a richer flavor, sauté the carrots and celery in a tablespoon of olive oil in the Instant Pot before adding the remaining ingredients.
Adjust the amount of chili powder and jalapeño to control the spice level.
To thicken the soup, mash some of the black beans with a fork before adding them to the pot.
Feel free to add other vegetables such as diced bell peppers or onions.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

    Great recipe! I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth to make it vegetarian.

  • Tyrell Lindgren

    Next time, I'm going to try adding a squeeze of lime juice for some extra zing.

    The quick release made me a little nervous, but it worked perfectly.

    I added a can of diced tomatoes for extra flavor, and it was delicious.
