Best Toppings for Chicken Corn Chowder:

I topped this chowder with fresh chopped green onion and crispy bacon. Feel free to serve this soup with some crackers or a slice of sourdough bread! Yum!

What about cheese? Well, it’s absolutely an optional ingredient. If you are a big fan of cheesy soup, then feel free to add some cheese before serving. The best cheese to use to make cheesy chowder is cheddar, pepper jack or Monterey jack. I personally skipped the cheese because the soup has already packed with complex flavors.

How to Make Instant Pot Chicken Corn Chowder Soup Recipe:

As I mentioned above, this chowder is very easy and quick to make! It only requires 5 minutes of cooking time at high pressure. In addition to that, you need to cook the onion for about 6-7 minutes along with celery, garlic, and jalapeno. Sauteed onion is a very important addition to make a good soup base. It adds a level of taste to the soup that I just love.

There are 3 important cooking steps to follow:

·  First, saute the soup base ingredients until translucent and fragrant. This process should take about 7 minutes.

·  Second, add the broth, corn, and chicken then cook at high pressure, set for 5 minutes.

·  Third, do a quick release once the cooking is completed. Then stir in the heavy cream to add creaminess to the soup.

Notes

If the broth is too thin to your liking, turn Instant Pot® back on and press the Sauté button. Whisk about one tablespoon of starch (corn starch or flour) into a little of the clean broth or cold water in a separate bowl before whisking it into the soup. Let the soup return to a simmer then turn off the instant pot. 

To Cook on the Stovetop: 

1. Melt the butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Cook onion, stirring frequently, until onion is translucent and starting to soften for about 3 minutes.
2. Add celery and keep stirring frequently for 2 minutes or until tender.
3. Add jalapeno and keep stirring frequently for about 1 minute.
4. Add garlic, paprika powder, and stirring frequently for about 1 minute. 
5. Stir in broth, diced chicken, fresh/canned/or frozen corn, corn golden sweet cream style, and thyme. Cook for about 10 minutes or until the chicken breast is fully cooked. 
6. Stir in the heavy cream. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Give a quick stir then turn off the heat. Serve and enjoy! 

If the broth is too thin to your liking, add a thickening agent (as mentioned above). Let the soup return to a simmer then turn off the heat.
