Instructions
- Turn 6.5-quart Instant pot onto saute function. Add the vegetable oil. When the display reads "hot". Add the onion, garlic, jalapeno, poblanos, and bell pepper, then saute for 5 minutes.
- Add chicken to the pot and saute, stirring often, until all sides of the chicken pieces have cooked on the exterior and are white. (don't cook all the way through)
- Add cumin, chili powder, oregano, coriander, salt, and pepper, and continue to saute, stirring constantly, (so spices don't burn) for about 1 minute, or until spices become fragrant.
- Add the beans, corn, Rotel, chicken broth and dissolved Better Than Bouillon then stir to combine.
- Place the lid on and set the "steam release" knob to "sealing". Press the "Manual" button and set to pressure cook on high for 10 minutes.
- When the pressure cooking cycle has completed, allow it to sit, undisturbed, and completely depressurize for 15 minutes.
- Switch the valve to the "venting" position to completely release steam before opening lid. Carefully remove the lid (there will likely still be remaining steam). Remove the chicken and set aside to a large bowl until cool enough to handle. Cut or shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces
- Turn the "saute" function on. Add the chicken, and cream cheese to the pot. Allow soup to cook for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cream cheese melts. Turn the Instant Pot off.
- Stir in the lime juice and cilantro, ladle into individual bowls and top with whatever toppings you'd like.
