Ingredients for Potato Soup Chowder
-
6 potatoes, cut into cubes (or more as needed)
-
2 ½ cups chicken stock
-
1 cup diced onion
-
1 cup chopped carrots
-
1 cup chopped celery
-
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
-
Salt and pepper to taste

Step-by-Step Directions
Step 1: Prepare Ingredients in the Pressure Cooker
In a multi-functional pressure cooker, combine potatoes, chicken stock, onion, carrots, celery, flour, salt, and black pepper. Close and lock the lid, selecting the high-pressure setting. Set the timer for 10 minutes and allow 10-15 minutes for the pressure to build.
Step 2: Release Pressure and Add Ingredients
Follow the manufacturer’s quick-release method to safely release the pressure (about 5 minutes). Unlock the lid and stir in the corn and turkey ham.
Step 3: Add Cheese and Final Touches
Stir in the shredded Cheddar cheese until fully melted and combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
Serve the soup hot, garnished with crispy bacon bits, chopped green onions, or croutons. Pair with warm cornbread or a crusty baguette.
Cooking Tips:
- For a creamier texture, dice potatoes into smaller pieces.
- Substitute chicken stock with bouillon, chicken soup base, or milk for a different flavor profile.
- Swap shredded Cheddar for processed cheese food (e.g., Velveeta) or your preferred cheese.
- Replace flour with a packet of country gravy mix for a richer flavor.
- If the potatoes are not cooked to your preference, use the High/Soup setting (not pressure) for a few more minutes.
