Gluten-free Instant Pot Chicken Corn Chowder is a really hearty, warming and filling soup that’s super easy to make.

One of the things we all share here is a love for soup. One of the soups we all really enjoy is corn chowder. I make a few different types of corn chowder, and hands down the favorite of them is chicken corn chowder. It’s a really hearty, warming and filling soup. It’s super easy to make. I actually prefer making it in the Instant Pot over on the stovetop, it’s a lot simpler and the taste is better. I always make a big batch so we have leftovers for the next day. A warning, this dish does thicken by the second day and doesn’t have nearly as much broth. Truthfully, we like it even better that way, not that there’s usually a ton of it left on the second day to worry about. Here’s how I make it.

I love soups and chowders. Something about them I just equate to comfort. I haven't had a good corn chowder lately and now you have me craving it.
