Notes

  • For a thicker White Chicken Chili use 1/4 cup less water and drain all the liquid from the beans and corn
  • You could also use a whole block of cream cheese (8oz) and add an additional chicken breast for a chunkier soup
  • Cut the cream cheese into cubes to blend better into the soup after pressure cooking
  • If you don’t have canned beans you can use about 1
  • 5 cups of cooked leftover beans for each 15-oz can of beans called for
  • Are you on a time crunch? Combine everything and pressure cook it on high for 20 minutes Shred the chicken and add it back in before serving
  • To skip the shredding of the meat start with rotisserie chicken
  • Instant Pot white chicken chili tends to get lumps from the cream cheese Whisk the cream cheese into the soup after depressuring for a non-lumpy soup
