Easy Instant Pot Creamy Chicken Jalapeno Soup

Leave a reply

This recipe for Easy Instant Pot Creamy Chicken Jalapeno Soup is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that combines the flavors of tortilla soup and jalapeno popper soup. The addition of cream cheese gives this soup a creamy texture and adds depth to its flavor. If you’re worried about the level of spiciness, just remember that jalapenos can vary in their heat level, so it’s always a bit of a gamble.

One of the great things about using an Instant Pot is the sauté feature. While not necessary, sautéing your aromatics like onion and garlic before adding the rest of the ingredients can really enhance the overall flavor of the soup. Plus, it’s an easy step to take that doesn’t add a lot of extra time to the cooking process.

This recipe is also versatile as it can be made on the stovetop instead of the Instant Pot. Just follow the same steps, adjusting the simmer time to 30 minutes instead of 5 minutes under pressure. Even the pickiest eaters will enjoy this soup, as it got a 10/10 rating from a notoriously tough critic. One tip to keep in mind is to add the cream cheese after the pressure cycle to avoid any issues with melting. Enjoy this amazing soup for dinner or save it for leftovers – it will keep in the fridge for up to 4 days.

 

Ingredients: 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut in half if large) 2 Tbs olive oil 2 jalapenos, seeds removed and diced 1 small onion, diced 2 cloves garlic, minced ½ teaspoon cumin 1 Tbs chili powder 1.5 cups salsa 1 teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon pepper 3 cups chicken stock ½ block (125g) cream cheese (room temp is best)

Ingredients:


1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut in half if large)
2 Tbs olive oil
2 jalapenos, seeds removed and diced
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon cumin
1 Tbs chili powder
1.5 cups salsa
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
3 cups chicken stock
½ block (125g) cream cheese (room temp is best)

Instructions:

  1. Press the saute function on the Instant Pot, and once hot, add the olive oil.
  2. Once the oil is hot, add the onion, garlic, jalapeno, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Stir often.
  3. Press cancel to turn off the saute feature. Add chicken, salsa and chicken stock to the pot.
  4. Secure the lid, turn to seal, and set the pot to pressure cook for 5 minutes.
  5. Carefully quickly release the pressure. You can let the pot naturally depressurize too.
  6. Shred the chicken with forks.
  7. Add in the cream cheese and stir until melted and incorporated into the soup. Turn the saute function back on if the cream cheese is not melting well.
  8. Serve immediately or store in the fridge for up to 4 days.

If making this on the stovetop, follow the same sequence as above, changing the simmer time to 30 minutes, versus 5 minute pressure time.

Enjoy this delicious soup made with the perfect blend of chicken, jalapenos, and cream cheese. Trust us, your taste buds will thank you!
