Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Instant Pot Corn Chowder with Sausage.
Step 1
Start by setting your Instant Pot to the 'Saute' function and drizzle in some olive oil.
Step 2
Once the oil is nice and hot, toss in the diced smoked sausage and crispy bacon.
Step 3
Sauté these savory ingredients for about two minutes, stirring frequently until the sausage begins to brown and release its delicious flavors.
Step 4
Next, add the chopped onion to the pot and continue cooking for another three minutes, allowing the onion to soften and become fragrant.
Step 5
Now, it’s time to introduce the chopped russet potato; sauté this for an additional minute to let it soak up all those wonderful flavors.
Step 6
Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil for one minute, stirring occasionally to combine everything beautifully.
Step 7
Then, add the sweet corn kernels and corn rounds to the pot, and securely close and lock the lid of your Instant Pot.
Step 8
Select 'High Pressure' and set the timer for six minutes.
Step 9
Once the cooking time is up, let the pressure release naturally according to your Instant Pot's instructions, which can take anywhere from 10 to 40 minutes.
Step 10
When it’s safe to do so, carefully unlock and remove the lid, revealing a pot full of comforting goodness.
Step 11
Turn the Instant Pot back to the 'Saute' function and bring the chowder to a gentle boil.
Step 12
Stir in the creamy coconut milk and season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Step 13
Allow it to boil for about five minutes, watching as the liquid reduces slightly and the chowder thickens to perfection.
Step 14
If you’re craving an even thicker chowder, simply mix some potato starch with water in a small bowl and stir it into the pot, blending it in until fully incorporated.
Step 15
Enjoy the warmth and heartiness of this delightful chowder, perfect for cozy evenings!.
