Kind of like a taco soup. Kind of like a tortilla soup.

Behold Instant Pot Mexican Fiesta Soup.

Basically all the flavors of a Mexican soup, and everyone came to the party! Beans, corn, chicken, taco seasoning, even a bit of ranch seasoning. I told you, everyone came to this party.

Over on my Instagram, you told me you wanted more prep raw and freeze type prep recipes. Ask and you shall receive, loves!

This recipe can be prepped 100% raw where you essentially put everything in a freezer safe container (or zip bag) and when it's dinner time, dump the thawed contents in, set your Instant Pot for 5 minutes - bam Mexican Fiesta in your kitchen.

Yes you can put the raw chicken right in there too.

These little baggie holders are a life saver if you are into this type of prep - because everyone would like to avoid the inevitable eye roll you get when you ask your husband to hold open the bag, or in my case, hold a spoon for a photo ha ha.

When I do assembly like this, I will add the liquid from the tomatoes, but I omit the water and just add it the day of cooking. You can put it in the freezer pack too, but it just unnecessarily fills it  - in my opinion.

So, here it is, Instant Pot Mexican Fiesta Soup

• 2 tablespoon ranch seasoning

To cook

• Add all ingredients to your Instant Pot
• Secure the lid. Set the pot to sealing. 
• Set the cook time to manual (high pressure) for 5 minutes.
• When the pressure cycle is complete, allow the pot to naturally depressurize for 10 minutes. Then quick release remaining pressure.
• Using tongs, pull the chicken breast out and shred it. Return it to the soup.

Notes

This recipe has a 5 minute pressure time, but due to volume of the soup, with the time to pressure up, and naturally depressurize 10 minutes, total time is just under 1 hour for this recipe.
