Method
- Instant Pot method: set the pot to sauté, add the olive oil, then the carrots, celery and onion, and cook for about 7 minutes, until the vegetables start to soften.
- Stir in the garlic, potatoes, corn, lemon juice, broth, coconut milk, thyme, parsley, salt and pepper, then seal the lid with the vent closed and pressure cook for 18 minutes.
- Let the pressure release naturally for 5 to 6 minutes before releasing the rest, then open the pot.
- Blend 2 to 3 cups of the chowder for about a minute and stir it back into the pot to thicken the chowder, then scatter in the chopped bacon and ladle into bowls.
- Stovetop method: heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat, sauté the carrots, celery and onion for about 7 minutes, then add all the remaining ingredients except the bacon, cover and cook on low for 1 hour.
- Blend 2 to 3 cups of the stovetop chowder, stir it back in, add the chopped bacon, and serve in bowls.
