Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 10 oz turkey, diced Cooked turkey works great if you have leftovers.
  • 8 oz tomato sauce Choose quality brands for richer flavor.
  • 14.5 oz diced tomatoes Fire-roasted varieties add a smoky depth.
  • 2 cups corn Fresh, canned, or frozen.
  • 3.5 cups chicken broth Homemade is best, but low-sodium store-bought works too.
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning Feel free to use homemade for even more flavor.
  • 1/2 cup onion, diced Yellow or white onions work well!
  • 2 tbsp jalapeño, finely minced Adjust based on your heat preference.
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced More garlic enhances the flavor.
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika Adds a delicious smoky flavor.
  • 4 oz tortilla strips Optional, for a satisfying crunch.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Dice your turkey, onion, garlic, and jalapeño. Having everything ready makes the cooking process much smoother and faster.
Cooking
  1. Pour the chicken broth into the Instant Pot first. Then, add the diced turkey, onion, garlic, jalapeño, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, taco seasoning, and smoked paprika. Stir to combine.
  2. Close the lid of your Instant Pot and set the pressure valve to sealing. Cook on high pressure for 8 minutes.
  3. Once the timer goes off, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then carefully release the remaining steam.
  4. Gently stir the soup and ladle it into bowls. Top with crunchy tortilla strips and optional toppings like avocado, sour cream, fresh cilantro, or lime.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze portions for up to 3 months. Prep all ingredients the night before for convenience.
