Equipment

  • Instant Pot

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 Small Red Onion diced
  • 4 Cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 1/2 Cups Corn Kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/3 Cup Diced Jalapeño (seeds removed for less heat, if preferred)
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1 Teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 2 Teaspoons Chili Powder
  • 1 Tablespoon Ground Cumin
  • 1 can White Cannellini Beans 15.5-ounce, undrained
  • 3 Cups Chicken Stock (low sodium recommended)
  • 1 Pound Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 1/2 Cup Sour Cream
  • 4 Ounces Cream Cheese cubed

Instructions
 

  • Set your Instant Pot to the Sauté function and add the olive oil. Allow it to heat up.
  • Once the oil is hot, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 2 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
  • Stir in the corn kernels and diced jalapeño. Season with salt, black pepper, chili powder, and cumin. Give it a quick stir.
  • Add the undrained can of cannellini beans and the chicken stock to the pot. Carefully place the chicken breasts on top.
  • Secure the lid on your Instant Pot and turn the knob to the Sealing position. Cook on High Pressure for 10 minutes.
  • When the cooking cycle is complete, carefully turn the valve to VENT to release the pressure quickly. (We recommend using an oven mitt or spatula for safety!)
  • Once the pressure has fully released, open the pot and carefully remove the chicken breasts to a cutting board. Shred the chicken using two forks, then return it to the soup.
  • Stir in the sour cream and the cubed cream cheese until everything is smooth and wonderfully creamy.
  • Serve your flavorful and healthy soup warm, adding your favorite garnishes if desired!
