I am a total soup person. I didn’t grow up as a soup person, but I morphed into a soup person when I learned how easy it was to make soup from scratch in my mid-2os. This was before the Instant Pot. This was when I made it on the stove or in my slow cooker. That’s when I became a soup person.

Homemade soup is just so good and easy to make. It warms you up unlike any other meal and it’s just so versatile. Now that I can make soup in 15 minutes or less with my instant pot, I’m really in love with soup. Especially this potato corn chowder and also Instant Pot Butternut Squash Soup. I also love making instant pot baked potatoes.
This instant pot potato corn chowder is packed full of so many good things, but there is one secret ingredient that makes this instant pot soup recipe better than the others.
The secret ingredient in the instant pot corn chowder
My secret ingredient is Better Than Bouillon Seasoned Vegetable Base. It takes an ordinary soup and makes it extraordinary. This concentrated soup base packs so much flavor into just 1 1/2 teaspoons, you will be amazed. Jeffrey over at Pressure Luck swears by it, so I knew I needed to try it in my recipes.
Here is a little more about this great product:
- Better Than Bouillon is a concentrated paste that works in place of a bouillon cube or broth.
- You can use it to make a stock (as we do in this recipe) or use it as a marinade.
- Better than Bouillon doesn’t expire quickly. Once opened, it stays fresh in your fridge for a long time. The expiration date on my jar is 2020. That’s a long shelf life compared to a container of broth that goes bad within a few days after opening. It’s also not gritty like traditional bouillon cubes.
You might also want to try making air fryer bacon. It is so good!

Ooh, I want to try this… I’m wonderin, do you add the potatoes when you add the onions, carrots, and celery?
Hi Molly. Thanks for catching that! Yes, you add the potatoes in at the same time as the carrots and celery. I just updated the recipe as well. Happy cooking!
