Ingredients
- Chopped medium yellow onion
- Butter, one tablespoon
- Frozen corn, two cups in measure
- Chicken broth, two cups as well
- Evaporated milk, from a 12-fluid ounce can
- Instant potato flakes, half a cup
- Dried thyme, just half a teaspoon
- Minced garlic, half a teaspoon
- Dried chives, half a teaspoon too
- Season with salt and ground black pepper, to your taste
Step 1
Start by activating a versatile pressure cooker, like the Instant Pot®. Opt for the Saute function and toss in diced onion along with a knob of butter. Saute until the onion turns a lovely golden hue, which should take around 5 minutes. Introduce sweet corn and flavorful chicken broth into the mix. Once done, switch off the Saute mode.
Step 2
Seal the pot with the lid securely, ensuring it's well-locked. Adjust settings to high pressure as per the manufacturer's guidance. Set the timer for 5 minutes and allow the pressure to build gradually, which may take around 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 3
When the cooking time elapses, carefully perform a quick pressure release following the manufacturer's instructions, which should roughly take about 5 minutes. Unlock and lift the lid cautiously. Incorporate creamy evaporated milk, fluffy potato flakes, aromatic thyme, minced garlic, fresh chives, a dash of salt, and a sprinkle of pepper into the pot. Gently stir the ingredients to meld the flavors.
Step 4
Your delectable dish is now ready to be served straight away.
