How to make Tex Mex Instant Pot Chicken and Rice Soup
Add the oil and butter into the IP and switch to ‘SAUTE’. Melt the butter and put the chicken in. Cook your chicken and brown on all sides for about 25 minutes until there is no pink and it is tender. Turn the IP off and put the chicken on a plate and shred.
Put the broth into the IP and for 5 minutes, let it sit. Use a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the IP to get the bits after cooking the chicken. This will be use to de-glaze the pan and will keep anything from burning.
Put the shredded chicken back into the IP and put in the onion, garlic, tomatoes, beans, sauce, chilies, corn, rice, and spices. Mix all ingredients and seal the lid to the IP. Switch the pressure valve to ‘SEALING’. Cook the soup by pressing the ‘SOUP’ button or setting on the IP. The IP will beep and go off when finished. Let the pressure release and make sure the ‘FLOAT VALVE’ is down. Take off the lid and mix the soup.
Then, serve in festive bowls or crocks with chips and more shredded cheese. Put limes on top and enjoy!
What Rice Should I Use for Soup?
I like to use Success Rice. If you aren’t familiar with SUCCESS brand rice, it comes in a package with pre-measured bags of rice inside. You just open one of the bags, and pour it in the Instant Pot, to add the rice. You can use whatever rice you have thought.
What Toppins go on Tex Mex Chicken Rice Soup?
You can also use whatever toppings you want for the Chicken Rice Soup. Add more vegetables or serve with chips and bread. You can add additional types of cheese as well to top off the soup.

NOTE: If you aren't familiar with SUCCESS brand rice, it comes in a package with pre-measured bags of rice inside. You just open one of the bags, and pour it in the Instant Pot, to add the rice. Make sure you drain and rinse the black beans before adding them to the soup. If you like your food a little on the hot side, you might want to add a little more chili powder, or a medium Taco sauce instead of the mild.
