Southwestern Chicken SoupSubmitted by cc

I usually prepare the chicken for this soup in a pressure cooker. I cook an entire 2.5 lb bag of whole chicken breasts in 8 cups water for half an hour, then remove half of the chicken for another recipe. I usually use water and 1 tbsp jarred chicken base rather than broth--I think it adds more flavor. I add the vegetables and spices after pressure cooking the chicken and simmer on medium until the vegetables are tender. Spices can be adjusted to taste.
