    This was the first recipe that I made with my instant pot. This was very easy and an absolute hit with my family. I put in frozen chicken breasts and they were cooked perfectly. When it was finished cooking I then shredded the chicken as that is just my preference over cubing the chicken. I will definitely make this again.

    Yummy! Inmodified the ingredients a bit to fit with what I had in the house and still was very good. I used cumin and chili powder instead of the taco seasoning packet and used pinto beans instead of black beans.

    Very easy to make and very good. I would use less broth as I felt the broth took some of the flavor away.

    my first instant pot attempt and i gotta say that this was fabulously easy! had to make some substitutions (pinto beans instead of black, canned whole kernal corn instead of frozen southwest style, etc) because i was just trying to use what i had on hand, but it still turned out delicious! i can already tell this is going to be a go-to recipe on crazy nights.

    Very tasty soup! The cheese and corn chips give it a very unique and satisfying texture.

    My first meal in the Instant Pot. I found that there was a residue cooked onto the bottom of the pot which didn’t come off with soap and a dishcloth. I poured a small amount of white vinegar ¼ cup (60ml) and left it for 1 minute. The residue came off completely with some easy scrubbing!

    Added cooked rice to the ingredient! The chicken was frozen and could have used more than 5 minutes but it was amazing!!!

    This is too easy and delicious! Perfect for a superbowl party or similar. But good just to have on a cold winter’s day.

    This was great, even with substitutions. I didnt have frozen corn so i used a can, I didnt have chicken broth so I used veggie broth with 2 chicken boullion cubes and I didnt have taco seasoning so I used a teaspoon of chili powder, gatlic powder and cumin and a half teaspoon of crushed red pepper. I also added some fresh jalapenos because i had them. So easy, so fast and so good. I will make it again. Very forgiving. Nice light dinner.

    This is definitely a keeper. I cooked the chicken breasts hole adding 1 minute to the cook time and and removed 1 minute from the natural depressurization time. I then removed the chicken and shredded it with two forks. I also removed a portion of the soup and then blended the remaining soup in the instant pot with a hand blender.

    To finish I added the chicken and the previously removed portion of soup and cheese back into the pot.

    It was a big hit and with be added into my soup file.

    I did not cook the chicken first, but upped the cook time to 10 minutes and then did a rapid pressure release after about 5-10 minutes. I would recommend less liquid… maybe 1-1.5 cans of broth instead of the full 32 ounce carton. Otherwise it’s delicious, and we will definitely have it again!

    New weekly menu item. So yummy. My family loves this soup!

    I have been making this regularly. I have made a few tweaks and found that you basically cannot go wrong.

    I use frozen chopped onions, substitute rotel if i dont have enough salsa and I use half regular and half spicy taco seasoning. I put in some tortilla stips before serving for a little crunch!

    I quadruple the recipe and we eat this for lunch and/or dinner several nights a week. Can’t say enough good things. ❤️❤️❤️

    This was a fan favorite…. It is very flavorful with a nice spice and not complex to make. Single guy rating on ease 5 stars…. taste 5 stars…. it took me longer to find the ingredients than it did for me to cook.
