Steps:

• Select sauté on the pressure cooker and add oil. When hot, add onions, garlic, jalapeno, red bell pepper, potatoes, and corn. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, just until the vegetables start to soften.
• Add salt and spices; stir to distribute.
• Add chicken tenderloins and nestle them down into the veggies and spices (this will help flavor the chicken as it cooks). Add chicken broth.
• Secure the lid and turn pressure release knob to a sealed position. Cook at high pressure for 5 minutes.
• When cooking is complete, let the pressure release naturally for 5-10 minutes, then release any remaining pressure.
• Remove chicken to a plate.
• Scoop 3-4 ladles of soup into a blender (more or less depending on how chunky/smooth you want the soup). Add sour cream to the blender and blend until smooth. Note: the soup will be very hot, so start on low, then gradually increase the blender to high to prevent splatters. I like to put a hand towel over the lid, just in case. Stir pureed soup back into the pot.
• Add milk, lime juice, and beans; stir.
• Shred or chop chicken into bite-size pieces; stir into soup.
• Taste and season with extra salt if needed (I typically add another teaspoon).
• Serve hot with a garnish of cheese, green onions, cilantro, avocado, crushed chips, and a dollop of sour cream or yogurt.
