   What changes would I do if I'd rather use frozen (or fresh) boneless skinless chicken breast instead of canned chicken, please? Thank you!
2. Kerissa says:

   I have the same question as, June G.
3. Chris says:

   So delicious, I got lots of compliments of this, and super easy!!!
4. Kathy says:

   What size can of chicken and enchilada sauce? I assume 15 oz can for the other items?
5. Christine says:

   Her video says “cook accordingly” she has another recipe where she uses fresh chicken and she cooks for 15 minutes I believe and the frozen one was “meat/stew” for 25 min. If all else fails cook your chicken before putting the other ingredients in I guess ?‍♀️
6. Cyd says:

   If you scroll down in the post you will see the detailed recipe. It has all the sizes of cans.
7. Patty says:

   Can I double this recipe for my 8 quart IP? I made your recipe as is and it is scrumptious! Now I want to make more of it at one time. :-) Thank You!
8. R Lloyd says:

   The first time I made this I cooked frozen tenderloins in the chicken broth for about 6 minutes before adding everything else and cooking for the 4 minutes in the recipe. Hope this helps!
9. Becky Lechuga says:

   I have an instant pot and have never used it, i am looking forward toss trying these recipes. Thank you for sharing.
10. Cyd says:

    Hi Becky! We are always learning with our Instant Pots. I think you will absolutely love it!
11. Ann Hughes says:

    I love all of your recipes! The taco soup is a must. (Especially after a long day at work.) I am the owner, lover and advocate of the instant pot. I have a 6qt and an 8qt. They are both used every week for our Sunday night family dinner. I tell everyone about this amazing tool in my kitchen. People question if I even use my stove anymore. Which honestly, I hardly ever do. Both if my instant pots are used all the time!
12. Susan McEachern says:

    The video shows undrained corn and undrained tomatoes but the written recipe mentions draining Both. Does it matter? For people who made this, what did you do?
13. Gail Fort says:

    I made this using browned ground meat instead of chicken. I didnt drain my corn or tomatoes. In fact, I used Rotel tomatoes with chiles instead of plain diced tomatoes. Much more flavor!
14. Patricia murray says:

    I am still not a believer but my husband wanted to try it. More later!
15. Michele Patton says:

    Just trying to understand the Instant Pot. If I add rice to this soup, would I need to add more liquid or would that 1 can of chicken broth be enough liquid? Also, if this is a soup why would you need to drain the cans of tomatoes, beans and corn?
16. Michele Patton says:

    I have a 2nd question with reheating leftovers. Would I reheat this soup using the saute or pot in pot?
17. Cyd says:

    Reheating soup in the Instant Pot pressure cooker is super easy! All you need to do is pour the soup in the Instant Pot, close the lid, turn the valve to a Sealing position, press the “Pressure Cook” or “Manual” button and set the time to ZERO. Basically, the Instant Pot will reheat the soup while it’s coming to pressure. Since you are not cooking the soup but simply reheating it, zero minutes cooking time is just right :) When the timer beeps, the Instant Pot will automatically switch to “Keep Warm” mode and will keep your soup hot until you are ready to serve it.
18. Cyd says:

    Rice soaks up a lot of liquid, so you would want to add more. We rinse and drain the beans because we don't like the thick murky liquid the beans are sitting in.
19. Le Ann says:

    Can’t wait to try this one. What are the spices?
20. Cyd says:

    You aren't scrolling down far enough in the post to see the complete recipes with ingredient amounts and directions. It's all there.
21. Charlyn says:

    I didn't see the answer to this question so will ask it again. Why does the directions say to drain the tomatoes and the corn when the video says to leave them in their juices? Will it affect the recipe? I understand why you rinse and drain the beans but wasn't sure why you would get rid of the liquid from the tomatoes and the corn. Thanks!
22. Cyd says:

    You can leave the liquid from the corn and tomatoes.
23. Dino says:

    This design is spectacular! You certainly know how to keep a reader entertained. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost...HaHa!) Excellent job. I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!

    
24. Astrid says:

    Your style is unique in comparison to other folks I have read stuff from. Many thanks for posting when you've got the opportunity, Guess I'll just bookmark this web site.

    
25. Kimberly says:

    How long would you cook in IP if frozen and straight from freezer?
26. Rosella says:

    Hmm it seems like your site ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I had written and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog blogger but I'm still new to the whole thing. Do you have any tips for newbie blog writers? I'd genuinely appreciate it.

    
27. Momma Cyd says:

    https://www.sixsistersstuff.com/how-to-start-a-blog/ This should help.
28. Momma Cyd says:

    About 5 minutes if frozen.
29. AMEE D says:

    I have several very good "taco soup" recipes...most are a lot of work. I saw this one and had all the cans I needed! My husband and children LOVED this recipe and told me to throw my other recipes out! Thanks for something EASY AND GOOD!
30. Momma Cyd says:

    Hi Amee. This is what we love to hear. Thanks so much for letting us know that you loved the seven can tortilla soup.
31. Laurie P says:

    Let love this soup!!! I used my IP and it’s done in no time. My husband thinks I’m a genius. 😄
32. Jenna says:

    I made this for dinner tonight! I am loving the dump and go recipes and this one didn’t disappoint. Very good! For sure one that I will keep. Thanks for the great recipe!
33. Kim Black says:

    My entire family loved this recipe! 1. It was super easy 2. I had everything on hand 3. Delicious!! My kids are 5 and 8, super picky and don’t like spice. They both loved it and asked for seconds. Thank you again 6 Sisters!! ❤️
34. Momma Cyd says:

    Hi Kim. So glad your family liked the soup! It's a fun and easy soup for the Instant Pot and so delicious. Have a great week.
35. JB says:

    Diced chicken cooks in under 5 minutes in the instant pot. It will be fully cooked if you just add it with the other ingredients. Even whole chicken breasts (less then 1 in. thick) will cook in five minutes in the IP.
36. JB says:

    You can add more liquid. Rice cooks with a 1:1 ratio of water or broth in the IP. Also, white rice like jasmine or basmati cooks in 3-4 minutes in the instant pot, so you should be able to add it at the same time as all the other ingredients. Don't drain the tomatoes and corn.
37. Laurie Picard says:

    One of our favorite dishes. Takes no time at all snd is always delicious!
38. Angela says:

    DELICIOUS and so easy!!!! Thank you for making dinners so easy and yummy!!!
39. Bridget King says:

    Delicious! I love this recipe. Super easy and turned out great! I did double the recipe on top of doubling the chicken (totaling 4 cans of check). I also had to use one can or red kidney beans instead of pinto. This amount of chicken was perfect for our tastes. I also had to use one can of red kidney beans instead of pinto as that's all I had. Still turned out great! Would recommend this recipe and this will definitely be adding it to our dinner rotations.

    
40. Joy says:

    This soup is the first thing I’ve made in my Instant Pot and it is so good. It was so easy to make. Thank you Six Sisters!

    
41. Momma Cyd says:

    We are so happy to hear that this was your first recipe in your Instant Pot. So exciting!!!
42. Shaina C says:

    My whole family loves this recipe! Even my picky eater! I make it at least once a week.

    
43. Sky says:

    What is the serving size foe the nutritional information?

    
44. Momma Cyd says:

    It says this serves about 8, but you could easily have larger servings and serve fewer people. This is about a cup of soup.
45. Leslie says:

    Have you tried this blended? My children refuse to eat beans if they know they are there.
46. Momma Cyd says:

    We have not tried this blended with 2 different beans in this recipe. You would have to experiment on your kids with that.
47. Marcia Terry says:

    This is so easy to make. I also don't use all the seasonings because I can't eat spicy but I love it.

    
48. Tera says:

    Can I blend the diced tomatoes before adding to the pot? My son does not like tomatoes, but if he doesn't see them, he'll eat them. :-)
49. Bobbi @ Six Sisters says:

    You definitely can! Whatever it takes to get those vegetables in there ;)
