- 1 cup chicken broth low sodium
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 small onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Set the Instant Pot to sauté mode and melt the butter. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent.
- Add the diced potatoes, corn kernels, chicken broth, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Close the lid and set the Instant Pot to manual high pressure for 10 minutes. Once done, perform a quick release of the pressure.
- Remove the lid and stir in the milk and heavy cream. Use a potato masher to lightly mash some of the potatoes for a thicker consistency, if desired.
- Switch to sauté mode to warm the chowder, stirring frequently until heated through. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve the chowder hot, garnished with bacon bits and chopped chives.
Notes
This chowder is best served immediately, but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
