Ingredients

  • 8 slices Center Cut Bacon diced
  • 3 cups 340g White Onion, diced (about 2 large onions)
  • 1 pound Ground Chicken 97/3
  • 3 cans 15 oz each White Kidney Beans, undrained
  • 16 oz jar Salsa Verde
  • 4 cups Low Sodium Chicken Broth
  • 10 cloves Garlic peeled and roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Ground Cumin
  • 1 tablespoon Ground Coriander
  • 1 tablespoon Dried Oregano
  • 4 Corn Tortillas chopped

Instructions

  • Add the diced bacon to an Instant Pot, pressure cooker, or soup pot at room temperature. Turn the sauté function on or use a medium-high heat to cook until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a plate or bowl lined with a paper towel and set aside.
  • Add the onion to the rendered bacon fat and cook until it begins to soften, about 4-5 minutes.
  • Add the ground chicken to the softened onion and break apart to fully cook.
  • Once the chicken is cooked, add the remaining ingredients and stir everything together.
  • Seal and pressure cook for 20 minutes with quick release pressure. Or bring to a boil before reducing to a simmer for about an hour on the stovetop until the soup thickens and the tortillas completely dissolve after stirring.
  • Salt and pepper to taste. Top with cilantro, avocado, jalapeño, and sour cream or fat free Greek yogurt. Serve with tortilla chips, if desired.
