Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Instant Pot Seafood Soup.
Step 1
Begin by activating the Sauté function on your Instant Pot.
Step 2
Toss in the bacon pieces and let them sizzle for 5 to 7 minutes until they achieve a delightful golden brown.
Step 3
Next, introduce the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 30 seconds, allowing the aroma to fill your kitchen.
Step 4
Add the diced onion, followed by the sliced celery and diced carrot.
Step 5
Stir occasionally for 1 to 2 minutes, then switch off the Sauté function.
Step 6
Now, layer the cubed potatoes over the vegetable medley, followed by the sweet corn.
Step 7
Pour in the vegetable broth, creating a flavorful base.
Step 8
Gently place the haddock fillets on top, then add the shrimp and scallops.
Step 9
Secure the lid of the Instant Pot, ensuring it’s locked in place.
Step 10
Set the device to high pressure according to the manufacturer’s guidelines and program the timer for 5 minutes.
Step 11
Be patient as the pressure builds, which should take about 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 12
Once the timer goes off, allow for a natural release for 10 minutes, then carefully switch to quick release for the remaining pressure, which should take around 5 minutes.
Step 13
When the lid is unlocked, remove it and select the Sauté function once more.
Step 14
Gently stir the mixture to break up the fish, infusing the chowder with its rich flavors.
Step 15
Add chopped thyme, a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, and ground black pepper to taste, enhancing the dish’s warmth.
Step 16
In a small bowl, combine cornstarch with water until smooth, then stir this mixture into the chowder.
Step 17
Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the chowder thickens to your desired consistency.
Step 18
Finally, stir in the milk, allowing it to meld beautifully with the other ingredients, and serve your hearty seafood chowder hot, perfect for warming the soul.
Step 19
Enjoy the comforting blend of flavors that will transport you to a cozy seaside cottage with every spoonful.
