Instant Pot Chicken Fajita Soup Recipe

Step 1

Start the pressure cooker in SAUTE mode and heat it. Add oil, onions, garlic, jalapenos and bell peppers. Stir and saute for 2 minutes.

Step 2

Add tomatoes, broth and spices. Stir it all up. Scrape anything stuck to the bottom of the pot.

Step 3

Place chicken pieces in a single layer and gently press them under the liquid. Press Cancel and close lid with vent in sealing position.

Step 4

Set on Pressure Cook mode at high pressure for 12 mins. Do a 10 minute NPR, which means open the instant pot 10 mins after it beeps.

Step 5

Remove chicken pieces and shred them. Put the shredded chicken back in pot.

Step 6

Add the lemon juice and sour cream. Stir continuously as soon as you add the sour cream, so it does not curdle.

Step 7

Garnish with scallions and serve.

Step 8

(Optional) Add your favorite toppings - tortilla chips, avocado, cilantro, shredded cheese, sour cream or guacamole.
