Pressure Cooking Your Chicken Chili soup Recipe

Lock the lid on your Insta pot in place to close and close the valve to seal in pressure. Set your instant pot on high pressure for 10 minutes.

Once the slow cooker has finished cooking, do a manual release by bringing the ceilings valve toward you to release the pressure.

Your cream cheese will still be in clumps. Using a whisk, break up the cream cheese as best you can, and then with a spoon, mix well while it is still hot.

Serve in your favorite soup bowl and top with your favorite garnishes! My family enjoys garnishes such as cilantro, tortilla chips, jalapeno peppers, sour cream, and grated cheese! Enjoy!
