  • 1 cup Celery diced
  • 2 cups Carrots diced
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 2 each Jalapeno peppers

Spices

  • 1 tsp Ground cumin
  • 1 tsp Ground corriander
  • 1/2 tsp Chili powder
  • 2 tsp Kosher salt
  • 1 tsp Ground black pepper

Prepared Foods

  • 2 tbs Grapeseed or Avocado oil
  • 28 oz Crushed tomatoes or two 15oz cans
  • 8 oz Canned corn drained
  • 2 quarts Chicken broth
  • 12 each Soft white corn tortillas (5 1/2 inch)

Meat

  • 3 Boneless skinless chicken breasts

Optional Garnishes

  • Avocado slices
  • Sour cream
  • Crunchy tortilla strips
  • Cilantro

Instructions
 

Prep

  • Dice the onion, carrots, and celery. Mince the garlic.  Remove seeds and ribs from the jalapeno peppers, then dice.  Cut the tortillas into short strips, about 1" x 1/4".

Sauté

  • Plug in your 6.5 quart or larger Ninja Foodi. Set it to sauté and add the oil to the ceramic bowl. After 3 minutes, add the onion, celery, carrots, garlic, and jalapeno. Continue to sauté and stir until the mixture starts to soften.
  • Stir in the cumin, corriander, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Let it continue to sauté for 1 minute.

Pressure Cook

  • Add the chicken stock, crushed tomatoes, corn, tortilla strips, and chicken breasts. Stir a couple of times to mix the ingredients together.
  • Making sure the Ninja Foodi pressure cooking lid has the silicone seal properly in place and the VENT/SEAL knob is set to SEAL.  Turn the power on, set the front panel to pressure cook on high for 7 minutes, and press START.
  • After the timer has expired, allow the Foodi to vent naturally (i.e. don't touch anything) for 10 minutes. Then carefully turn the VENT/SEAL knob to VENT. (Watch out for overhead cabinets.)
  • When the venting is complete, open the lid and remove the chicken breasts. Using two forks, shred the chicken, then return the chicken to the Foodi, stirring to distribute the shredded chicken throughout the soup.
  • Serve while hot. Garnish with sliced avocado, sour cream, cilantro, and/or crunchy tortilla strips as desired. Pour yourself a glass of white wine and enjoy!
