Pressure Cooker Chicken Enchilada Soup. Are you looking for a quick soup that the whole family will love? I have one for you!

Enchilada Sauce

For this recipe, you will need some enchilada sauce. You can either buy it or make your own. I want to show you how simple it is to make your own. You can decide after you see how to make it whether or not it is something you want to tackle. If you aren’t into making it, skip the next few steps and open your can instead :).

It starts with a roux. This is a combo of oil and flour. For this recipe, also add chili powder. It cooks with the roux. I like to cook it for about 3-5 minutes. This will add flour, but you also need to cook out the flour taste.

Add in the crushed tomatoes, stock, seasonings.

Cook another few minutes. That’s it. It’s done. It took a little over 5 minutes total. That is it! Now, on to the soup.

Making The Pressure Cooker Chicken Enchilada Soup

You can use any pressure cooker you want, I recently bought this 6 Quart Instant Pot and LOVE it!!

Now, we start the soup. Chop onions.

You don’t have to cut chicken, but I didn’t feel like shredding it after. So, I needed to have it done before.

Place enchilada sauce, black beans, corn, stock, minced garlic, and spices in a pressure cooker.

Cook for 25 minutes. Allow the natural release for about 5 minutes, after that do the quick release.

Next, add in evaporated milk. Stir gently and it is ready to serve!

The Finished Pressure Cooker Chicken Enchilada Soup

We topped with our favorite cheese, Tillamook pepper jack, avocados, and red onions.

We also love to serve with corn tortillas or chips. You don’t have to use either, but we love it with them.
