Soup season is one of my favorite times of the year. This Instant Pot Ham, Potato, and Corn Chowder recipe is always at the top of my list. Every spoonful of soup is full of the perfect balance of ingredients that will literally have you scraping the bottom of the bowl.
This soup recipe is one that my family loves – and for good reason. The salty ham and the chunks of potatoes paired with the sweetness of the corn create a flavor that you just can’t beat. I love to add some crushed-up crackers and shredded cheese to the top of my bowl but the kids prefer to add their own unique toppings. That’s the beauty of soup!
Make certain to try my Instant Pot Cheeseburger Soup for another hearty and yummy soup recipe.
Being able to use your Instant Pot to make soup is a fast and simple cooking method. I love that this soup recipe takes literally 30 minutes of time to cook. This means that I can cook it up fast, even when we’re having a super busy night.
Some people prefer a thicker-based soup but I think that the consistency of this soup recipe is just about perfect.
Once you start to add the ingredients to the Instant Pot, the house is going to be smelling like soup in no time at all! This simple soup recipe is a delicious chowder recipe that is loaded with wonderful flavor.
Since this recipe makes a large batch of soup, you’ll have some leftovers for the next few days as well! I call that a meal planning win!
