Instant Pot Chicken Poblano Soup recipe in The Long and Winding Road

A few of you requested this recipe – sorry I don’t have a link but I copied it here. Of course you can play around with this recipe. I used chicken thighs and legs because that’s what I have on hand and it’s what I prefer. For toppings I used diced avocado, tortilla strips and cilantro. It’s an easy soup and everyone I’ve served it to has really liked it – hope you do too.
