Notes

  • Fresh corn tastes so good in this, but defrosted frozen corn kernels will work too.
  • If not vegetarian, you can use chicken broth or beef broth.
  • Adaptable. You can use other plant-based milk. If not vegan, then use regular milk instead in the recipe.
  • For a thinner soup, add an extra half to one cup of broth.
  • Stir in some corn starch if you want a thicker corn chowder.
  • For a richer soup, use plant-based heavy cream instead of plant-based milk.
  • Cook time does not include time for the Instant Pot to come up to pressure or for the pressure to release.
  • Storage - keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • There are 2 WW Blue Plan SmartPoints in a serving of this.
