This soup is so easy and can be made quickly on a weeknight or ahead of time for an easy meal prep. You’ll start by soaking chile peppers and blending the chipotle simmer sauce. Then add the chicken to your Instant Pot and pour the simmer sauce over top the chicken. Make sure the chicken is coated in sauce on all sides. Then add in the bay leaves, lock the lid and set the timer. Once the Instant Pot finishes cooking allow for 10 minutes of natural release and then remove the chicken to shred. Switch the Instant Pot to the sauté function and add in chicken broth, cooked black beans and stir to warm everything through. Then add back in the shredded chicken and serve with chunks of avocado, cilantro leaves and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
