This easy Instant Pot potato corn chowder recipe is amazing!! It only takes 15 minutes to make and is the perfect creamy corn soup to eat all year long. Served by itself for dinner or with a side of rolls it surely will be your new favorite pressure cooker soup. Your kids will think it’s a winner too!

instant pot corn chowder

OH MY Goodness is this Instant Pot potato corn chowder amazing! I have been experimenting with new appliance of mine since I got it just before Christmas and it has changed my world! It’s one of our favorite Instant Pot recipes. (originally published 2/17, affiliate links present)

We eat together more often now because everything cooks SO much faster. You can use a Ninja Foodi or Crockpot Express too. The brand of pot doesn’t really matter.

I feel like we eat a bit healthier too because I can cook with fresh veggies and it takes no time at all. We’ve made soups, chili, popcorn, and now this chowder in it and I think this is

how to cut corn

It starts with two main items from the produce department, corn and potatoes. I usually have a bag of the latter in my pantry since we live in Idaho of course…

Let’s start with a few basic tips:

  • Make sure to Bookmark our InstaPot recipes page. We add new ones each week!
  • Then LIKE our IP Facebook page for new ideas daily.
    • This is a great InstaPot cookbook to grab too.
    • I HIGHLY recommend you buy this non stick pot. It is easier to clean and will avoid the burn message too.
  • For reference, this is the pressure cooker I have and use for all recipe creations.

You can use frozen kernels too and I have when fresh doesn’t look great at the store or I’m just trying to do it real quick.

From start to finish in the pot it takes about 15 minutes pressure cooking cook time. Adding in the prep you’re looking at a quick 25 minutes from start to finish.

Just enough time to throw some rolls in the oven and everything is done at once! It’s so good!

corn-chowder

If you’ve been to San Francisco and had the Boudin clam chowder there this reminds me of that kind of soup. 

Tip: I’d highly recommend fresh vs. frozen corn but if that’s all you have give it a go.

  • It is perfect as is but I usually throw a loaf of garlic bread in the oven once I put everything in my Instant Pot and it is all done right around the same time.

I’ve since made this easy Instant Pot clam chowder recipe and between these two I’m set for a few great nights of comfort food at it’s finest. On high pressure with a quick release it’s SUPER fast and done in 30 minutes.

  • If you don’t have an Instant Pot this is the one I have and am absolutely obsessed with.
instant pot potato corn chowder

Instant Pot corn chowder

  1. Electric pressure cooker
    1. if you have an Instant Pot I HIGHLY suggest getting this non stick pot
  2. Red potatoes
    1. I have used russet too if that’s all I have
    2. diced small with skin on is my preference
  3. Corn (right off the cob is best)
  4. Onion
  5. Vegetable or chicken broth (way better than using water)
  6. Cheddar cheese
shredded cheese
  1. Half and half or heavy cream
  2. Corn starch
  3. Butter
  4. Salt and pepper to taste
  5. Bacon – bits of crispy bacon crumbled on the top takes it over the top!

What are the best potatoes for chowder?

I like red potatoes for recipes such as this one. Yukon Gold are probably the second best.

You really want one that won’t break apart and mess with the thickness of your soup. I have used russet as well, depends on what I have.

instant pot potato corn chowder

It is a great comfort food that can be adjusted to your liking, but just as is it tastes amazing too.

  • This whole process is really easy and I love that I can use fresh produce to create it.
  • I also love that you could easily add in bits of leftover ham, bacon, or diced celery inside as well if you desired.

After Easter and Christmas I make this swap. Instead of bacon I just dice up what ham I have left over the day or two after the holidays and it turns out amazing!

Of course you can make it year round with store bought diced ham but it’s a must then.

pressure cooker potato and corn chowder

Potato corn chowder

  1. Set Instant Pot to saute and add butter until melted. 
  2. Add diced onions and cook until softened. Turn pot off now to avoid burn notice.
  3. Pour in broth, diced potatoes and corn kernels now. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Close the lid and steam valve.
  5. Set to high pressure for 10 minutes.

I know, it’s done super duper fast right?

  1. I usually allow it to naturally release steam for just 1 minute to avoid any spraying, then quick release.
  2. Whisk together in a small bowl your cornstarch and some hot liquid from pot.
  3. Set pressure cooker to saute, add cornstarch slurry and stir in with half and half and shredded cheese.
  4. Allow to thicken and serve!!

It will come out creamy and delicious. Of course you can skip the cornstarch if you wanted but I like it thick. Flour can be used instead to make the roux.

  • Instant Pot pinto bean soup
  • And Instant Pot corn is always a killer side dish

If you only have a slow cooker here is crockpot corn chowder you can make at home too. 😉

Crockpot Corn Chowder

What do you eat corn chowder with?

Corn bread is a great pairing, or a nice fresh green salad works. 

  • A simple semi homemade pull apart bread is probably our favorite side dish.
  • For dessert a simple apple crisp w/ ice cream is yummy for dessert. 

Can you freeze potato corn chowder?

Yes!! We rarely have any leftovers but if you do just: cool soup completely, then add to a freezer safe container and freeze for 1-2 months.

To thaw place containers in the refrigerator overnight or until thawed completely on your countertop. Reheat in pot on the stovetop or in the microwave. Heat in 30 second increments.

  • You can add a bit of half and half and stir thin it out as you reheat.

Sprinkle top with some shredded cheese and/or bacon bits and serve!

ham and corn chowder

I have used this recipe and added leftover ham to it too! This one was made in my Ninja Foodi and turned out amazingly well. I hate wasting food and the meat made it an even heartier soup.

Now for the printable instructions so you can enjoy this at home too this week.

    My potatoes range from half-dollar to soft ball size…how many cups would your 6 potatoes equal?
    Is 1/4 of an onion about 1/4 cup?

      As far as onions are concerned, use more if you like, less if they aren’t your fave. If I had to guess I would say I use 4-5 cups of diced potatoes??

      I sometimes make this dairy free using coconut milk and coconut cream for the half and half and nutritional yeast as a substitute for the cheese. It gives that cheesy flavor without the dairy. I probably use 1/4 cup, maybe more.

    My son had his wisdom teeth out and asked for this type of soup. I’m glad I picked your recipe as it was a hit for the whole family. I had to grind up the big bits for my son, but leftovers were gone by noon the next day. The family made me make again the following night. Prep takes twice as long (20 min), cooking too (20 min), but it’s worth the wait.

    I’m making this soup for a second time today, because the first one was delicious. 4 minutes in the Instant Pot is sufficient for bite size chunks of potato. That’s the timing I use for chopped potatoes for potato salad. We don’t eat bacon (vegetarian home), so I’m going to try the smoked paprika someone here mentioned. Thanks for the recipe!

    First, the recipe is absolutely delicious. I made it exactly as instructed. My only critique is that the overall time to prep and cook is a bit misleading. The recipe says either 20 or 25 minutes (depending on where you look) from start to finish. The prep time says 10 minutes, but washing and dicing 6 potatoes, shucking and decorning 2 ears of corn, and dicing/sauteing the onion took closer to 20 minutes. While it only cooks in the pressure cooker for 10 minutes, the cooker takes about 5 minutes to pressurize and 3 minutes for the quick release (so 18 minutes in the cooker). The final steps take an additional 5-10 minutes to add ingredients and give it time to thicken. So all in all it takes closer to 45 – 50 minutes to make. Delicious either way though!

      Hi there, I was initially confused by the wording but am quite sure she means close both the lid and the vent ie make sure the vent is on sealing and not venting.
      I’ve made this soup a couple times with a few additions and it’s turned out very yummy.

    This was a perfect base recipe for me to play with, so thank you!! I sauteed in broth, added carrots and celery with the other veggies and used unsweetened almond milk. I added a can of navy beans and some nutritional yeast when done and didn’t thicken it. I’ll play a little more with seasonings as I continue to make it bc I definitely will!

    I followed to the letter the first time and it was great however I was inspired to modify it the second time. I used twice as much corn because I was trying to use up for frozen corn and I love corn! I added one chopped celery stock and 2 chopped rippened jalapeno peppers with the onions at the start. I also used a whole onion. I also added a tsp of tarragon and a tsp of smoked paprika, it came out fantastic and way tastier the second time!!!

    For anyone looking to make this on the stove top — I cooked the onion with a little bit of veggie broth (no oil). Then added the veggie broth, diced potatoes, and canned corn. Brought to a boil and simmered until the potatoes were almost done. Then added the cornstarch plus 1.5 tsp garlic powder and 1.5 tsp salt to add some more flavor. Continued simmering until the potatoes were ready. Then added 3/4 cup of 2% milk and 1/4 cup heavy cream (didn’t have any half and half) plus an additional tablespoon of cornstarch because mine was still looking pretty thin. I cooked it about 5 more minutes until soup thickened up more. Before seasoning it with garlic powder and salt I thought it was a bit bland for my taste but afterward it tasted very good. I would absolutely make this again!

    I am new to cooking (the instant pot has changed my life!). Tried this recipe, substituted a few things because I didn’t have them at home (whole milk instead of half and half; flour instead of corn starch), and it came out so wonderfully! And was delicious. I also used Cabot smoky bacon cheddar for this and WOW was that a great choice! So if anyone likes bacon in their corn chowder, definitely a great way to add that! This recipe was so easy to follow, and I am so excited to have this now saved to use in the future!

      I usually do what I call a slow release just moving the steam valve slightly and have it come out slowly.

    I tried this recipe tonight and the family loved it. I have to say though that as written there isn’t much flavor at all (maybe it was the brand of vegetable broth?). I added quite a bit of salt, pepper and a little red pepper for a touch of heat in the back of your throat. I also added crispy bacon and ham to the pot once cooked and almost 1.5c of the cheddar. Thank you, I will be trying some of your other recipes.

    Tonight I was looking for another recipe on Pinterest – because since getting an Instant Pot it seems to have stirred my interest in cooking again – and, as often before, I find myself drawn to your site.
    This chowder, which I made last weekend, turned out beautifully. It’s perfectly delicious.
    I just wanted you to know that I REALLY APPRECIATE all the time and effort you put into making delicious meals and that you’re willing to share these recipes with me and others.

    This recipe is a perfect example of what grinds my gears with Instant Pot recipes. Right in the headline she says it takes 15 minutes to make including prep time. Then in the directions, 10 minutes prep and 10 minutes cook. 10+10=20. WHY say it takes just 15 minutes when it actually takes 20???

      I would add the shrimp after you open the pot and are stirring in the extra ingredients. The soup should be hot enough to cook the shrimp I would think unless you are using really big shrimps.

    I’m late to the party, having just found this recipe. I made it last night, substituting gold potatoes as that was what I had, but only 2 cups of half and half. That was plenty – three cups would have been too much – so I’m wondering if I didn’t use enough potato. The next time you make it, could you weigh the potatoes and post it here?

    Family LOVED it so will definitely make again.

      Tracey, as long as you don’t go over the MAX line in the pot, you’re good to go. Keep in mind that the fuller the pot is, the longer it’ll take to come to pressure. Also remember that you add the cream/milk and cheese after the pressure cooking, so be sure to leave enough room for it later.

    Are the potatoes supposed to all “mash” together to give it the creamy consistency, or does that mean that I should use a shorter time on high pressure next time? I didn’t end up with really any potato chunks by the time it was done because they all broke apart when I stirred in the cream and cheese. (Maybe I diced the potatoes too small, but I’m still curious what the end product should be like.)

    Notes: I also added four slices of bacon in the beginning using the saute function, kept the drippings in the pan, and then added the crumbled bacon at the very end. I also had to use heavy cream because I didn’t have half and half. I loved the taste of this corn chowder!

    can you sauté everything in the pressure cooker and the turn it on for 10 minutes
    what psi do you put it on
    why do turn the steamer valve off
    do you count the 10 minutes when the steam is full blown mine is on my burner

      Elizabeth. This is an electric pressure cooker. So it controls the pressure. I have only used mine when following exact recipes so I haven’t experimented with the settings too much. But it does come with a pretty handy book on how it works and the food comes out delicious!
      I have the same instant pot mentioned here. I got mine from Amazon. I would HIGHLY recommend replacing your manual pot with an IP! ?

      11/07/2017 at 2:46 pm

      Elizabeth, you sure could use the old fashioned pressure cooker! The 10 minute vent is probably not necessary, but I would do it because it’ll come up to pressure faster if you do. If you have a dial gauge, bring it up to 11 psi or use your 10 pound weight if you have the weighted canner. Remember that since you’re not canning, the psi isn’t life or death. When the pressure time is done, use cool water for a quicker release. I’ve never done that before, so you might want to read up on that…good luck and enjoy!!!

      About 2 cups I would say, add more or less to your liking.

    This soup is really good. I just changed the Half and Half to Unsweetened Almond Milk. The soup was so sweet and flavorful!! Thank you so much for the recipe.

    This recipe looks amazing, however I do not own an Instant Pot. What would be an alternative cooking method?

    I just had to stop by and leave a comment for this tasty recipe! I am always on the lookout for new Instant Pot recipes. I did make substitutions to make the recipe vegan. Nutritional yeast instead of the cheddar as well as olive oil and almond milk instead of the dairy versions. I’m sure that mine isn’t as wonderfully decadent, but it’s so good that I plan on taking the leftovers to my dad and making another batch for my family tomorrow. Ten minutes of cook time was perfect. Thanks so much!
