Ingredients

  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • 2 cups frozen corn

  • 2 cups chicken broth

  • 1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk

  • ½ cup instant potato flakes

  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme

  • ½ teaspoon minced garlic

  • ½ teaspoon dried chives

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add onion and butter to the hot pot; cook and stir until onion is lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add corn and chicken broth. Turn off Saute function.

  2. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 5 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

  3. Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Carefully remove lid and add evaporated milk, potato flakes, thyme, garlic, chives, salt, and pepper; stir to combine. Serve immediately.

Cook's Note:

You can use a 15.25 ounce can of yellow corn, drained, in place of the frozen corn, if you'd like.
