Simple Instant Pot Corn Chowder
I don’t know about your area, but things are cooling off here in Arkansas. We’ve had the windows open airing out our house and it’s been nice. It’s this time of year that we really like to make soups and chili. I have a WONDERFUL recipe to share today, instant pot corn chowder. It’s a pretty simple recipe, trust me, or I couldn’t make it.
I’m so very glad that I decided to try to make a few recipes with an instant pot. So far, I have shared the Mexican stew recipe and it is SO yummy. I have a few others that I plan to share, but as you know, I’m “always behind”, lol.
