Instrucciones

Place chicken, onion, bell pepper, enchilada sauce, pinto beans, Northern beans, cannellini beans, green chiles, chicken broth, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper to Instant Pot.

Seal lid. Cook on high for 10 minutes.

Let pressure naturally release for 10 minutes. (Hayley had vented it as well and it worked just fine)

Remove chicken breasts from Instant Pot and shred the meat. Return shredded chicken to the Instant Pot.

Place cream cheese in a small bowl and add 1-2 ladles of soup to it. Whisk together until cream cheese is melted into the soup.

Add mixture and shredded cheese to the rest of the soup and stir well to combine.

Serve topped with your choice of toppings - shredded cheese, avocado, green onion, cilantro, sour cream, plain yogurt, and tortilla chips are all great options.

Enjoy!

Notas

Freezer Meal: I have made this chicken enchilada soup into a freezer meal many times. Simply add all of the ingredients of the soup except for the broth, cream cheese, and cheese, to a large freezer bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. To cook, thaw overnight in the fridge (I also like to set it on the counter for an hour or two to completely thaw) and then cook according to recipe instructions, adding the broth, cream cheese, and cheese as instructed. It is one of my favorite freezer meals.

Use Rotisserie Chicken: This soup would be a great use for leftover chicken or rotisserie chicken. Simply add as the recipe instructs and decrease cook time to 5 minutes, as the chicken does not need to be cooked.

Can be made vegetarian without chicken- only cook for 5 minutes
