3 cups chicken broth

113 cups chunky salsa

1 tsp fine grind sea salt

1 tsp garlic powder

12 tsp ground chipotle powder

12 tsp ground black pepper

12 tsp ground coriander

12 tsp ground cumin

12 dried parsley

1lb (450g) boneless skinless chicken thighs

8oz (225g) block-style cream cheese, softened and cubed

12 cup Monterey Jack cheese

14 cup queso fresco, crumbled

2 tbsp chopped cilantro, to garnish (optional)

1 Combine the chicken broth, salsa, sea salt, garlic powder, chipotle powder, black pepper, coriander, cumin, and parsley in the inner pot. Stir until well combined. Add the chicken thighs to the pot.

2 Cover, lock the lid, and flip the steam release handle to the sealing position. Select Pressure Cook (High) and set the cook time for 20 minutes.

3 When the cook time is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes and then quick release the remaining pressure.

4 Open the lid, use a slotted spoon to transfer the chicken thighs to a cutting board, and use two forks to shred the chicken. Return the shredded chicken to the pot. Stir to combine.

5 Select Sauté (High). Bring the soup to a boil and then add the cream cheese. Whisk continuously until the cream cheese is melted. (Note that small bits of unmelted cream cheese may remain, which is fine.)

6 Press Cancel to turn off the pot. Add the Jack cheese and stir until the cheese is melted into the soup.

7 Ladle the soup into bowls. Sprinkle 12 tbsp queso fresco over each serving and top with 1 tsp chopped cilantro (if using). Serve hot.

tip You can use mild, medium, or hot salsa varieties to adjust the spiciness to your taste preferences.
