Pressure Cooker Chipotle Chicken Pozole

A pressure cooker is the perfect tool for making a quick pozole that tastes like it has simmered for a
long time. Traditional red pozole usually requires toasting and puréeing dried chiles for a flavorful
broth, but this one relies on canned chipotles for smoky complexity. Chipotles can be fiery, so feel free
to use fewer peppers if youʼre concerned about the heat, but donʼt skimp on the adobo sauce: Itʼs
milder than the peppers and is packed with loads of smoky, garlicky flavor. Serve the soup in bowls
with plenty of crumbled cheese, diced avocado and crushed chips, for topping.

The slow-cooker version of this dish uses bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, carrots and celery, is
available here.

Let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes, then release


remaining pressure manually. (If hot liquid spurts out of the knob
along with the steam, carefully close it and wait 5 more minutes
before releasing remaining pressure.) Using a ladle, skim excess
fat from the surface of the soup, if desired.

Using the sauté setting, coarsely shred the chicken in the pot
using 2 forks. Add the corn and the pozole and simmer until
warmed through, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the lime juice and taste; add
more salt or lime juice if necessary. Serve the soup in bowls with
the toppings of choice.
