Do you have an Instant Pot? It is my favorite kitchen tool, and it has been since I got mine almost two years ago now. Instant Pot recipes make things so easy, and they allow busy people to forget about making dinner until an hour before. This is even true if you’re making something right from the frozen state. Most times, if I am cooking something with chicken in my Instant Pot I am putting the chicken in there frozen – right from the freezer! And. this Mexican Street Corn Chowder is amazing!
One of my favorite things to make in my Instant Pot is soups, especially since we eat soup at least twice a week since soup is such an inexpensive way to feed a family. And, soup is generally super healthy, too.

We eat a lot of Mexican foods in our family since they are just something that everyone loves. I am always looking for new recipes, though, and this is literally something that I worked on perfecting over a few different times. Easy, fresh, and packed with vegetables, we finally have a winner!
This Mexican street corn chowder is so delicious, but I think part of what makes it so is that it is made in the Instant Pot, which just intensifies the flavor.
You will love this Instant Pot Mexican Street Corn Chowder as much as we do!

You could make this in a crock pot, just adding cooking time, and you could even do the same thing and make it on your stovetop. But, there is something to be said about the flavor intensity of the Instant Pot.
