  3. Cover and cook on high pressure for 15 minutes. Release pressure and remove chicken to shred.
  4. If you want a thicker soup, remove a small amount of the bean mixture and puree, then add it back into the soup. You can also use an immersion blender directly in the Instant Pot for a few seconds to blend slightly.
  5. Add the shredded chicken back into the soup along with the greek yogurt. Squeeze in the juice from 1 lime and top with desired toppings!
