Follow The Directions

01

Step

Heat vegetable oil in a pressure cooker over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened (5-8 minutes).

02

Step

Incorporate the chopped roasted red peppers, diced jalapeno peppers, minced garlic, black pepper, and salt. Continue to cook until the garlic becomes fragrant and the onions are fully softened (approximately 5 minutes). Gently stir in the diced tomatoes and cook until warmed through (about 1 minute).

03

Step

Carefully transfer the tomato mixture to a blender. Secure the lid tightly and pulse a few times before blending continuously until smooth. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overfilling the blender. Pour the pureed tomato mixture back into the pressure cooker.

04

Step

Pour the chicken stock into the tomato puree. Stir well and bring to a boil over high heat (about 5 minutes). Cover and lock the pressure cooker. Cook over high heat until steam begins to build and steadily escapes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the pressure to release naturally. Once all steam is released, carefully remove the lid.

05

Step

Bring the soup to a gentle boil. Stir in the heavy whipping cream and fresh cilantro. Remove from heat and let cool slightly (5 minutes).

06

Step

Crush tortilla chips into individual serving bowls. Ladle the soup over the tortilla chips and garnish generously with sour cream and shredded queso quesadilla. Serve immediately and enjoy!

For a smokier flavor, consider grilling the onions and peppers before chopping.
Adjust the amount of jalapeno peppers to control the level of spiciness.
If you don't have queso quesadilla, Monterey Jack or another melty white cheese works well.
Garnish with avocado slices for an extra touch of richness and freshness.
