Instructions

1

Saut Sausage and Veggies

Start by turning on your Instant Pot to the sauté setting and pour in a splash of olive oil. Toss in the sausage and bacon, stirring often, and cook for about 2 minutes until they start to brown. Add the chopped onion and cook everything together until the onion softens, around 3 minutes. Stir in the potatoes and let them sauté for another minute. Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a boil for just a minute. Then, add the corn kernels and the corn cob rounds, give it a good stir, close the lid, set the pressure to high, and cook for 6 minutes.

Finish and Thicken Chowder

Once the cooking time is up, let the pressure release naturally—it could take anywhere from 10 to 40 minutes depending on your cooker. When the pin drops, carefully open the lid. Switch back to sauté mode and bring the chowder to a gentle boil. Stir in the coconut milk, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes, so the soup thickens a bit. If you want it even thicker, mix some potato starch with water and stir that in until it’s fully combined.

Serving Suggestions

Serve the chowder hot with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or chives on top. A side of crusty bread or warm cornbread pairs perfectly to soak up the delicious broth. For extra creaminess, add a dollop of sour cream or shredded cheese.

Storage Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of broth if it has thickened too much. This chowder also freezes well—just thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
