Corn Chowder | Low Calorie Corn Chowder | Corn and Potato Soup | Easy Dinner Ideas | Instant Pot Soup Recipes

This is the first time I prepared Corn Chowder and absolutely loved it. Since I was preparing it for my dinner I thought of keeping it light & low in calories. I skipped adding Butter+Plain Flour. I know those two components gives that richness to the soup but luckily I had Nutritional Yeast in the pantry. The cheesy nutty flavor in Nutritional Yeast helped in thickening the soup.

If you don’t have an Instant Pot you can prepare this in regular pressure cooker too. Substitute Nutritional Yeast with 1 tablespoon All Purpose Flour + 1 tablespoon Corn Starch or add 2 tablespoon All Purpose Flour alone.If you are a vegan add Oat/Almond/Soy milk instead of Plain Milk

Recipe Notes

1. If you are preparing this directly in Pressure Cooker make sure to add enough water so that the corn & potato don't get burned 

2. If you are using All Purpose Flour & Milk to thicken the soup then first mix the two well and then add it to Pressure Cooker or Instant Pot. This way flour don't become lumpy
