Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil for a touch of smoothness
  • 1 finely chopped onion to bring a flavorful base
  • 2 jalapeno peppers, finely chopped for a spicy kick
  • 1 finely chopped green bell pepper for a burst of color
  • 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped for aromatic depth
  • A package of artificial chicken pieces (12 ounces), such as Quorn™
  • 4 cups of vegetable broth for a hearty foundation
  • 2 cans of pinto beans (16 ounces each), rinsed and drained
  • A package of frozen cauliflower florets (16 ounces) for a unique twist
  • 1 cup of frozen sweet corn for sweetness and texture
  • 1 teaspoon of dried oregano for a hint of earthiness
  • 1 teaspoon of ground cumin for a warm and rich flavor
  • 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper for a touch of heat
  • Salt to taste for seasoning
  • ½ cup of sour cream for a creamy finish
  • 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste, for a fresh touch (Optional)

Step 1

Start by igniting the multi-functional pressure cooker, like the popular Instant Pot®, and opt for the Saute function. Drizzle in a generous amount of olive oil to infuse the flavors. Toss in the aromatic combination of onion, spicy jalapeno peppers, vibrant bell pepper, and pungent garlic into the sizzling oil. Allow them to mingle and soften for a few minutes until the onions achieve a delightful tenderness, usually around 3 minutes. Introduce the plant-based chicken pieces into the mix and let them sear alongside the veggies for an additional 3 minutes, enhancing the dish's depth of flavors.

Step 2

Next, pour in the rich vegetable broth, hearty pinto beans, snowy frozen cauliflower, sweet frozen corn, earthy oregano, warm cumin, zesty pepper, and a pinch of salt to season the concoction perfectly. Seal the lid securely and engage the Soup function on the cooker, adjusting the timer to 15 minutes to let the ingredients meld harmoniously.

Step 3

Once the cooking cycle completes, practice a gentle pressure release using the manufacturer's recommended natural-release technique for approximately 5 minutes. Follow this by carefully employing the quick-release method to release any residual pressure, as per the manufacturer's guidelines, which typically takes around 5 minutes. Unlock the lid cautiously to avoid any unexpected steam.

Step 4

To bring a creamy element to the dish, gently fold in the luscious sour cream, enriching the texture and taste. Serve the aromatic soup in cozy bowls, garnishing each serving generously with vibrant, fresh cilantro for a burst of herbal freshness that elevates the overall experience.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Start by organizing your pantry with clear storage containers for beans, spices, and other ingredients. This not only makes it easier to find what you need but also keeps everything fresh and accessible.
  2. 2. Utilize versatile storage solutions like mason jars for storing homemade vegetable broth or leftover chopped veggies. These jars are not only practical but also add a rustic charm to your kitchen shelves.
