Preparation
Chef’s notes
Expect about 10-15 mins for the Instant Pot to come to pressure before the cook time starts.
This works great with adding chicken as well! Add 1 lb of chicken breasts with everything else and increase the time to 8 minutes. Shred chicken once the steam is released.
For stovetop preparation, saute onion, garlic, and jalapeno in a little oil. Add sweet potatoes and spices. Add tomatoes, broth, and corn. Simmer for 15-20 minutes.
Some of the oil from the fried tortilla strips will end up in the soup – it gives the soup a more luxurious texture. Fry tortilla strips in olive oil for added flavor or use vegetable oil for a neutral taste.
