Instructions
- Turn your Instant Pot to sauté, heat oil and cook bacon in batches until crispy. Remove and set aside.
- Cook chopped onion for about a minute and garlic for about 30 secs.
- Add clams with juice to the pot. Add the bacon back to the pot with all the other ingredients except the sour cream, cream, and cornstarch.
- Cover and set to manual pressure / high pressure for 10 mins, until potatoes are tender. Allow for a natural pressure release.
- Turn the pot back on to sauté mode. In a separate cup, mix the cream and cornstarch until no longer lumpy and add to Instant Pot.
- Add sour cream to the pot and stir to combine.
- Use a potato masher to mash the potatoes in the chowder, leaving some lumps. Let simmer for a few mins.
- Turn off, garnish with bacon and green onions, and serve hot.

Notes
- Chef's Tip: If you don’t have canned clams, you can use frozen clams with clam juice.
- There are 12 Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving of this .
- Cook time does not include time for the Instant Pot to come up to pressure, or for the pressure to release.
- To make this recipe EVEN EASIER, prep all your ingredients ahead of time. This makes whipping up this dish even FASTER.
- Add more cream if you like a thinner chowder.
- If you like a thicker chowder, add a tablespoon each of cornstarch and water to the hot chowder and stir it in.
- Do NOT use a quick pressure release because this can cause the soup or soup foam to come out of the top vent.
