Instant Pot Corn Chowder – creamy chowder with fresh corn, potatoes, bacon, and cheddar cheese. It cooks in the pressure cooker in just 25 minutes!
Don’t you just love this time of year when the corn is so good?!
I love putting corn is everything during summer. I even have a caramel corn ice cream that includes fresh corn!
This Instant Pot Corn Chowder is a family favorite. I have to double it if I want to have even a drop of leftovers! It has a super creamy base and it’s full of fresh corn, potatoes, cheese, and bacon. How can you go wrong with those ingredients?!
If you’re not into soup during the summer (I get it, it’s a million degrees in Texas right now), cut the corn off the cob and put it in a freezer ziploc bag so you can make this soup when it gets cooler!

My favorite pressure cooker is this Crockpot Multicooker.
It functions as a pressure cooker, slow cooker, you can saute in it, and keep things warm for hours. I got rid of my other slow cookers when I got that one because I love it so much.
How Long Is Corn Chowder Good For?
Corn chowder will stay good in the fridge for up to 3 – 4 days. Make sure to store it in an airtight container.
You can reheat on the stovetop or the microwave. If it seems too thick, a splash of chicken broth will help to loosen it up.
Can You Freeze Corn Chowder
No, I don’t recommend freezing this corn chowder. It has half and half in it and soup made with dairy products tend to change texture when frozen.
