Instant Pot Mexican Lentil & Chicken Soup

Directions

1. Press “sauté” button on Instant Pot and add canola oil. Once hot, add onion and garlic and cook until softened, 3-5 minutes.
2. Add chicken stock and stir, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
3. Add chicken, jalapeno, cumin, oregano, lentils, and tomatoes and stir to combine.
4. Press cancel to stop the sauté function, seal the lid, then press the “soup” button. Cook for 30 minutes. (It will take about 10 minutes for the pressure to build, then the timer will begin.) Once the timer has stopped, quick-release by flipping the release valve to “venting."
5. Remove the chicken and shred it, then add it back to the soup with the lime juice and honey, stir to combine.
6. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with cilantro leaves, if desired.
