Ingredients

  1. 1 (32 fluid ounce) container chicken broth
  2. 1 (15 ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
  3. 1 ½ cups frozen corn
  4. 1 onion, chopped
  5. ½ cup cauliflower rice
  6. ¼ cup quinoa
  7. 3 cloves garlic
  8. 2 teaspoons chili powder
  9. 3 teaspoons ground cumin
  10. 1 teaspoon paprika
  11. 1 teaspoon salt
  12. ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  13. 1 pound chicken breast
  14. 3 tablespoons vegetable oil for frying
  15. 2 (8 inch) corn tortillas, cut into bite-sized strips

Instructions

  1. Combine chicken broth, tomatoes, corn, onion, cauliflower rice, quinoa, garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Add chicken breast. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer’s instructions; set timer for 7 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  2. Meanwhile heat oil in a skillet over moderately high heat. Add tortilla strips and cook until golden, about 1 minute. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  3. Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer’s instructions, about 15 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer’s instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Remove chicken and shred or cut into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Return chicken to pot to warm. Ladle into soup bowls and top with fried tortilla strips.

We really enjoyed this recipe, I added lime wedges and a little hot sause for more flavor. I would make this again and maybe add a little bit of chipotles for more zing
Carolyn Cox
Very tasty! The whole family loved it. It was very quick and easy to make – although I bought tortilla chips instead of making the tortilla strips.
Angela Montes
Very few soups are both this easy and this delicious! I cheated a bit by using store-bought tortilla strips and saved some additional time by using a hand mixer set on low speed to shred the chicken. This dish is likely to become a monthly regular offering in our house.
Shari Bird
A quick and easy soup that’s full of flavor. The spices are spot on. I used chili lime tortilla strips that added a depth or flavor.
