  • tip 2
    Use caution when releasing remaining pressure from Instant Pot® after cooking, due to escaping hot steam.
  • tip 3
    1 bag (10 oz) frozen corn may be substituted for the southwestern corn in this chicken taco soup recipe.
  • tip 4
    If a recipe calls for chopped chicken breast, start by slicing your chicken breast into wider strips. Begin one slice at a time, cutting each slice lengthwise into long strips, then cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces. Remember to wash cutting boards, utensils, and countertops with hot soapy water after preparing raw chicken.
  • tip 5
    Top your Instant Pot® taco chicken soup however you want! For more flavor, add chopped avocado or green onion.
  • tip 6
    You can substitute Greek or plain yogurt (just make sure it’s not flavored!) in place of sour cream.
