Pressure Cooker Vegetarian Corn Chowder Soup

This Pressure Cooker Vegetarian Corn Chowder is a Vegan, plant based, healthy soup made with fresh ingredients.

Pressure Cooker Vegetarian Corn Chowder

Pressure Cooker Vegetarian Corn Chowder

The great thing about fresh corn, is that it freezes well. I mean, besides the wonderful taste. This Pressure Cooker Vegan Corn Chowder can be made and enjoyed all year long.

It is a wonderfully comforting soup for days when you just want to be snuggled in your pajamas in front of the TV. I like it year round.

 

Cast of Ingredients for Pressure Cooker Vegetarian Corn Chowder

Cast of Ingredients for Pressure Cooker Vegetarian Corn Chowder

This Pressure Cooker Vegetarian Corn Chowder is adapted for the Pressure Cooker from the The Post Punk Kitchen. I love all the ingredients in this soup, so I thought right away that I would also love the soup.

I found the soup to be a bit spicy (as in heat) and a little to bland for my taste. I love lots of spice (as in flavors) in food, so I changed up the spices a bit.

If you want to add a shot of hot sauce, try this Pressure Cooker Rockin’ Hot Sauce. It’s super hot and super delicious.

 

Chop the Onions

Chop the Onions

Chop up the onion, as we want to caramelize it a bit first. Cut the carrots into chunks. We’ll give all the veggies a nice sauté first to bump up the flavor.

 

Add Coconut Oil and Onions

Add Coconut Oil and Onions

It is really important to preheat your Pressure Cooker cooking pot before adding in the fat/oil. Doing so, makes a stainless steal pot, non stick!

When your Pressure Cooker is fully preheated, add the Coconut Oil Coconut Oil and the chopped onions. Mix the onions around for about a minute.

 

Add in Carrots and Spices

Add in Carrots and Spices

Toss in the carrots, red pepper flakes, Cumin and corn kernels and use a Spatula to sauté. About 4 minutes should it; you want the onions to start to become translucent. That will add another layer of flavor.

 

Add in the Corn and stir to toast

Add in the Corn and stir to toast

I mean really, look what I did!!! I put the corn in there before cutting off the kernels. It seemed like a good idea at the time. What was I thinking?

Do yourself a favor and cut off the kernels first and then add them in, along with the corn cobs. The cobs give a nice flavor.

 

Add the Minced Garlic

Add the Minced Garlic

Garlic burns really fast, so after the vegetables have a nice little sear to them, add the garlic and sauté for about a minute.

 

Dump in the Potatoes

Dump in the Potatoes

Dump in the potatoes, skins and all. Use a thin skinned potato, like a Yukon Gold. It also adds a butter flavor without using butter!

 

Add the Vegetable Broth and Salt

Add the Vegetable Broth and Salt

Add Potatoes, salt and pepper. You are ready to cook!!!!

 

Whisk the Potato Starch in with the Coconut Milk

Whisk the Potato Starch in with the Coconut Milk

Measure out the Coconut Milk into a Measuring Cup and add the Potato Starch. Whisk it together really well. We will add it to the Pressure Cooker cooking pot to thicken up the soup a bit.

 

Squeeze in the Lime Juice

Squeeze in the Lime Juice

Squeeze the Lime Juice into the Coconut Milk and Whisk that it as well. No, it is not going to curdle. I love lime, so I added more than one lime to the Pressure Cooker Vegetarian Corn Chowder, right before serving.

 

Look at all the Yumminess!

Look at all the Yumminess!

Now, here is where I realized I did something stupid. The soup is hot, yes? I need to get those darn corn kernels off the cobs. Well, it’s hot you know. So, I have to pull out the hot corn and cut off the kernels.

 

Corn Kernels, Cut from the Cob

Corn Kernels, Cut from the Cob

Now that my hands are burned and red…just kidding. I had the hubs cut the kernels off the hot corn and I went and hid during the deed.

Remember to do this before you cook the soup and then add in the kernels and the cobs. The cobs give a really nice and sweet flavor.

 

Pour in the Coconut Milk Mixture

Pour in the Coconut Milk Mixture

In my case, place the corn kernels back into the Pressure Cooker cooking pot and add in the Coconut Milk Mixture.

 

Whisk in the Coconut Milk and Potato Starch

Whisk in the Coconut Milk and Potato Starch

In your case, you were smarter than me; the corn is already in the Pressure Cooker cooking pot and you’ve removed the cobs. So, pour in the Coconut Milk Mixture and Whisk in well to thicken up the soup.

 

Blend with an Immersion Blender

Blend with an Immersion Blender

I like the soup really smooth, so I use my Immersion Blender and blend it up really well. Some people like some texture. I do however, I like my Pressure Cooker Vegetarian Corn Chowder very smooth.

Then I like to add in some fresh corn kernels from a cob that I kept aside. 😉  Yummy!

 

Taste the Soup and Adjust Seasoning

Taste the Soup and Adjust Seasoning

Here is where I added in some Smoky Paprika and more pepper. I did squeeze in another lime. Taste the soup and season to your own personal tastes.

 

More Soup for Me!

More Soup for Me!

This recipe makes a lot of soup, which is great. My freezer is very happy! I use these Reditainer Extreme Freezer Containers and Freezer Labels a lot for leftovers and intentional freezer cooking.

It is so great to grab a container of Pressure Cooker Vegetarian Corn Chowder, dump it in my Pressure Cooker, push a button and in a short time, have piping hot soup!

    How many oz of potato does this amount to? I may use different potatos, small, that I have on hand.

    When you add in the corn, potatoes and broth, it says to put the lid back on and cook for 6 minutes. Should it still be on the saute setting?
