01
Step 1
Start by setting your Instant Pot to the sauté mode. Once it’s hot, toss in the butter and chopped onion. Cook them together, stirring now and then, until the onion softens and starts to turn golden, which should take about 5 minutes. Then, add the corn and chicken broth to the pot. Turn off the sauté function.

Step 2
Secure the lid on the Instant Pot and make sure it’s locked. Set it to cook on high pressure for 5 minutes. It will take some time for the pot to come up to pressure—about 10 to 15 minutes.

Step 3
When the cooking time is up, carefully release the pressure using the quick-release method. Once all the steam has escaped, open the lid. Stir in the evaporated milk, potato flakes, thyme, garlic, chives, and season everything with salt and pepper.

Step 4
Give it a good stir to mix everything together, and your chowder is ready to enjoy! Serve it up warm, and maybe add a sprinkle of extra chives on top if you like.
