    I use my pressure cooker in this recipe because it helps to infuse the flavors in a shorter period of time than cooking it on the stove, but you can make this chowder on the stove or in a crock pot if you don't have a pressure cooker. 

    ​The ingredients are straightforward, easy to find, and won't break the bank which is a huge plus in my book!

    Ingredients & Substitutions

    Chowder Base

    The base of the chowder is made from onions, celery, garlic, bay leaf, chicken broth or chicken stock, salt and pepper. These simple ingredients bring tons of flavor into the chowder; however, they can be modified or substituted based on personal preferences. If you don't want to add the onion, skip it and double the celery. If you don't want to add celery, skip it. You can even make it without either onion or celery and it will be fine. 

    I don't recommend using green bell pepper in this recipe unless you want to change the flavor profile and pair it with some cajun spices and andouille sausage for a Cajun-inspired chowder. The green pepper will impart a completely different flavor in the chowder base and will definitely change the flavor of the sausage corn chowder. 

    The bay leaf can be omitted if you don't have any on hand. 

    The garlic is only smashed and peeled and this gives a nice garlic flavor without it being too pungent. If you want to use minced garlic instead, just use 1-2 cloves.

    If you don't want to use chicken broth or stock, you can use vegetable stock or plain water. These changes may require more seasonings so adjust as needed.

    Sausage

    I use (affiliate link)Hillshire Farm smoked sausage in this recipe. The kind I use is a combination of beef, turkey, and pork; however, any fully-cooked smoked sausage that you like will work great in this recipe. There are tons of different varieties such as: chicken sausage, beef sausage, pork sausage, and kielbasa. 

    14 ounce package of HIllshire Farm Smoked Sausage.

    You can also use uncooked sausage that is in a casing, like a mild or hot Italian sausage.  Just slice it and sauté it with the onions and celery until it browns. It will cook fully while under pressure. Ground sausage will also work, but I would sauté it to brown and drain any excess grease or use the sausage drippings to make the roux in place of some of the butter. You would want to use about a pound of ground sausage. 

    Keep in mind: the kind of sausage you use will absolutely affect the flavor of the chowder, so you will have very different outcomes if you choose to use something besides a fully-cooked smoked sausage. 

    If you want to omit the sausage to make a potato and corn chowder, you absolutely can and no other changes are needed in the recipe except you may find you want a little more seasoning.

    If you are skipping the sausage and want to infuse some smokey flavor, you can add a few slices of uncooked thick-cut bacon and remove it after pressure cooking. If you are skipping the sausage for vegetarian/vegan reasons, you can add in a drop or two of liquid smoke. 

    This recipe can also be adapted to make a chicken corn chowder by omitting the sausage and using cubes of chicken breast or chicken thighs instead. You will want to sauté about 1 pound of chicken cubes with the onions and celery, but no other changes are needed except you may find you want to add more seasonings.

    Potatoes & Corn

    I used Yukon gold potatoes (sometimes just called golden potatoes) in this recipe because they tend to hold together better under pressure. Russet potatoes can also be used, but I would cut them bigger because they will fall apart more in the chowder. Red potatoes or new potatoes are another good option and they hold their shape nicely. 

    Sweet potato is another option to replace yellow potatoes and as long as you make the chunks about 1½" they should cook just fine in the short PC time.

    You can also use butternut squash in place of the potatoes and, while it will impart a slightly different flavor, I'd bet it will be delicious. I use butternut squash as the base for my Mexican soup recipe.

    mcxican butternut squash soup

    You can use canned (and drained) whole-kernel corn, fresh corn off the cob, or frozen sweet corn without any other changes to the recipe.

    Cream-style corn will also work, but your chowder will have less whole corn in it and you either want to add the cream corn after pressure cooking or add it on top without stirring before pressure cooking or the liquid may become too thick to produce the steam needed to go under pressure before scorching to the bottom and triggering the water/burn notice.

    Cream & Butter

    Heavy Cream is the best thing to use in your chowder for the thick and silky texture that chowder is known for. You can cut down on the amount if you like and try just adding ½ cup to cut some of the calories and fat.

    You can use whole milk or even skim milk, but you are going to lose the texture and flavor that heavy creams gives the chowder. If you do use milk instead, only add ½ cup until you see the thickness of the chowder and you can add more until you reach your desired thickness.

    Butter is used to sauté the onions and celery, and I love the flavor it gives. You can also use ghee or clarified butter which I love to use when sautéing because the pure butter fat doesn't burn! Olive oil is another choice if you don't want to use butter.

    Additional Seasonings and Garnishes

    Besides salt, pepper, and a bay leaf, the only other seasoning I use is (affiliate link)Cholula hot sauce. It is simply amazing how much flavor and just a touch of spiciness this brings to the chowder. If you haven't tried Cholula before, I highly recommend it!

    Some other options are a bit of cayenne pepper or chipotle powder for a touch of spiciness.

    You can also use other dried or fresh herbs that you like. I would add them after pressure cooking so you can start off with small amounts and increase based on taste. Remember, it takes at least 10-15 minutes for the flavors to infuse after adding the spices.

    As far as garnishes go, the only thing I usually add is the leafy part of the celery that I chop up. It adds such a nice color to the chowder and pairs with all of the other ingredients perfectly.

    You could also use fresh parsley or chopped green onions.

    Shredded cheese is another option.

    How to Make a Cheater Roux when Pressure Cooking

    When pressure cooking, one of the most important things to keep in mind is the thickness of the liquid. If it's too thick, it can burn before producing the steam required to go under pressure. For more information on pressure cooking, please read this article I wrote: Pressure Cooking 101

    Many times we use what is called a roux to thicken sauces, soups, and stews. A roux is a combination of fat and flour that is cooked for different amounts of time depending on what kind of roux you are making.

    Chowders and light-colored sauces use a blonde roux, meaning it is only cooked long enough to remove the flour taste and the color stays pale.

    Usually a roux is made in the pot or pan before other ingredients are added, but this can cause some issues when pressure cooking. In order to keep the liquid thin enough, the roux needs to be added after pressure cooking.

    Of course, you can make the roux on the stove and then add it in, but why bother when you can use this workaround and pressure cook the roux!

    In this recipe you will need 3 Tablespoons of melted butter and 3 Tablespoons of all purpose flour. You can substitute the butter for another fat if you prefer. Bacon grease works great!

    Mix them together until the lumps are gone and you have a thin paste.

    You can use a metal container, like a (affiliate link)2" x 6" Fat Daddio pan that will fit on the rack above the chowder in your pressure cooker.

    I use the Ninja Foodi Smart Lid pressure cooker and don't have the clearance with the one lid that I have with the two-lid model, so I used a piece of aluminum foil that put the butter/flour paste in the middle and seal it up into a packet.

    Making a roux packet for pressure cooking.

    Set the packet to the side and you will place it on the rack above the chowder just before pressure cooking.

    How to Make Sausage Corn Chowder

    Once you start cooking, this recipe moves fast so you want to have everything prepped and measured out prior to starting.

    The only prep you won't do is peel and dice the potatoes. That is done just before adding to avoid discoloration.

    Mise En Place (Prep)

    The first thing you want to do is decide if you are going to make the cheater roux in the above section or if you want to make it on the stove. Either way is fine, but if you want to do it my way, go ahead and make up the packet as part of the prep work.

    The rest of the prep is super easy.

    • Slice the celery into ½" slices
    • Dice the onion into ¼-½" dice
    • Slice the sausage either into round coins about ¼-½" thick or slice them on the diagonal for a bit more interest.
    • Smash and peel the garlic cloves
    • Measure out the chicken broth and seasonings
    collage of pictures showing the prep stages of cutting celery, onion, sausage, and smashing garlic.

    Sauté

    Turn the Ninja Foodi or Instant Pot on high sear/sauté and add the butter. If you are using a stainless steel pot, you may want to decrease it to medium-high or medium heat so the butter doesn't burn.

    Add in the celery and onion and sauté for about 3-5 minutes. Add the salt and pepper and stir. I recommend starting out with ½-1 teaspoon of kosher or sea salt and only ½ teaspoon of black pepper.

    You can always add more salt and pepper to taste at the end of cooking.

    sauteing the onions and celery in butter.
    adding sausage, garlic, bay leaf to chowder and stirring.

    Next add in the smashed garlic cloves, the bay leaf, and the sliced sausage. Stir and try to get the sausage on the bottom so it gets slightly browned which adds more flavor to the chowder.

    You can turn the sear/sauté down at any time and if you are slower at chopping, you probably want to turn it down to medium or even low.

    Now it's time to chop up those potatoes. Remember, the smaller you cut them, the softer they will be. Try to keep the chunks bite-sized but on the bigger end of what could be considered bite-size. I like them to be between 1½-2".

    chopping potatoes for chowder

    As you chop the potatoes, add them directly to the pot until they are all in and then we deglaze with the chicken broth and stir. Make sure to scrape the bottom of the pot to remove any fond (browned bits) that may be stuck and can impede pressure cooking.

    deglazing with chicken broth before pressure cooking.

    Next add in the corn and the Cholula or your favorite hot sauce. The timing doesn't change if you are using drained canned corn or frozen corn. Give it all a good stir.

    adding the corn and hot sauce before pressure cooking.

    You may wonder why we don't add in the cream now. It's because it will split during pressure cooking and, while it's edible, it doesn't look so great!

    Pressure Cook

    Place the rack in the high position in the Ninja Foodi or Instant Pot. Place the foil packet on top and close the pressure lid.

    Make sure the valve is in the sealed position. Select high pressure and the time for 2 minutes.

    setting up the Ninja Foodi to pressure cook the sausage and corn chowder.

    It will take about 7 minutes for the pot to come to pressure and when the 2 minutes of pressure cooking is complete, do an immediate release of pressure.

    What this means is move the valve to the vent position and let all the steam out to depressurize the pot so you can open the lid. If you allow the pot to naturally release the pressure, even for a short period of time, you can (and most likely will) over cook your potatoes.

    There is no disadvantage to doing an immediate release UNLESS you are doubling the recipe and in that case, you would pressure cook for zero minutes and do a natural release for 5-10 minutes before manually releasing the remaining pressure.

    Remove the foil packet and the rack. Open the foil packet.

    Immediately releasing the pressure and removing the rack and roux packet.

    Finishing Touches

    Scrape the roux into the pot and stir. Add in the cream and stir.

    stirring in the roux and the cream.

    Taste for seasonings and adjust as needed.

    Chop up fresh parsley or celery leaves from the inner ribs (stalks).

    tasting for seasonings, adding salt and celery leaves chopped.

    Seasoning Tip

    If you add seasonings, stir and let the chowder sit for at least 10 minutes on keep warm before tasting and adding more seasonings. It is really easy to over-season after cooking if you don't give the seasonings enough time to infuse into the food.

    Keto Sausage Chowder

    To make this chowder keto-friendly you would omit the roux, the potatoes, and the corn or add less corn if you aren't that strict with macros.

    You can replace the potatoes with butternut squash or another type of vegetable that is hearty and will hold up to pressure cooking.

    If you want to use something like cauliflower instead of potatoes, I would either cut the cauliflower into really big pieces (like just quarter the head of cauliflower) if you want to pressure cook and then break it up some after it is done pressure cooker or steam them separately just until they are soft, but not too soft, and then add them to the finished chowder.

    To thicken the chowder, I would use a combination of melted butter and xanthan gum or guar gum. This can be done after pressure cooking and, unlike other thickeners like cornstarch, both xanthan gum and guar gum thicken as soon as they hit the liquid. This is why it's important to blend them with fat before adding to the chowder. You don't want clumps of thickening gum in the chowder!

    A little of these thickeners go a long way, so start off with ½ teaspoon mixed in ½ Tablespoon melted butter or oil. Mix until smooth and then add to the chowder and stir. This should be done after the cream is added so you are sure to get it to the desired thickeness.

    It will thicken more as it sits, so take that into consideration when deciding on how much thickener you need. You can repeat the ½ teaspoon xanthan or guar gum mixed with ½ Tablespoon cream as many times as you need to.

    If your chowder becomes too thick, you can thin it out with water, broth, or more cream.

    Stovetop Sausage & Corn Chowder

    I tested this recipe using a large stockpot on the stove and found that I needed more roux and it had to simmer for at least 30-45 minutes to develop the flavor I got from pressure cooking.

    The changes you want to make is to use 6 Tablespoons of flour and 8 Tablespoons of butter. The way I did it was to sauté the onions, celery, salt, pepper, and sausage slices in the butter for about 5 minutes, then add the smashed garlic and sauté another few minutes.

    Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir until all the butter is mixed in with the flour and then cook for another 2-3 minutes to cook off the flour taste.

    Add in 4 cups of chicken broth and stir. Cut and add the potatoes, bay leaf, and Cholula. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

    Add the cream and stir. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve & Enjoy!

    Storage & Reheating Instructions

    How to Store Leftover Sausage Corn Chowder

    While you can freeze leftover Chowder and my mom does it all the time. Cream and potatoes do change texture when frozen and I've found that adding a bit of cream and gently thawing and heating is the best approach.

    Refrigeration

    Store any leftover chowder in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. The amount of time it will stay good does depend on how fresh your cream was when you used it. The fresher the cream, the longer it will stay good in the fridge.

    Freezer

    If you want to freeze the chowder, let it cool all the way and it's best to refrigerate overnight before packaging for the freezer.

    You can store the chowder in any freezer container, but you want a container that just fits the amount of chowder you have. If your container is much bigger than the amount of chowder, air gets trapped and causes what we call freezer burn.

    My preferred method for freezing is using a vacuum sealer which eliminates this issue.

    Vacuum Sealing Chowder

    Fill your vacuum sealer bag ¾ of the way and fold over the top. Place the bag in the freezer and let it freeze overnight. Place the top of the bag into the vacuum sealer and seal. Place in the freezer.

    How to Reheat Sausage & Corn Chowder

    From Frozen

    I recommend either thawing in the refrigerator or slow cooking on low from frozen. Sous vide is also a nice option especially if you vacuum sealed the chowder.

    To sous vide from frozen, place the bag in a water bath set to 165℉ and sous vide until thawed and warmed through. The time will depend on how much chowder you are reheating.

    After sous vide, you will want to mix the chowder and add a little cream, if needed, to improve the texture.

    From Cold

    Slow cooking or stove top on low is the easiest way to gently reheat the chowder. Stir frequently and add a little cream if needed to bring the chowder back together if it splits.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I Double the Recipe?

    Certainly! As written, this recipe makes about 10 cups of chowder. If you want to make 20 cups in your pressure cooker, you will want to have an 8 quart or larger.

    You would double all of the ingredients and the stovetop directions stay the same, except I might cut back on the chicken broth by a cup or two and add more if needed.

    When pressure cooking, you would double the ingredients but also make adjustments in the time. Contrary to what you may think, you will actually decrease the pressure cook time when doubling the recipe.

    This is because there is more volume in the pot which will take longer to come to pressure and that time to pressure is cook time AND, you don't want to do an immediate release with the pot that full or you will have the contents spewing from the valve.

    When doubling the recipe, set the pressure cook time to zero minutes on the Ninja Foodi and do a 5-minute Natural Release. If your pressure cooker doesn't let you set it for zero minutes then set it for 1 minute and try to do a 3-minute natural release.

    Can I make half a batch of chowder?

    Absolutely. Just cut the ingredients in half and no changes are needed when pressure cooking or cooking on the stove.

    What should I serve with Chowder?

    Chowder is a hearty meal that goes perfectly with a side salad and a crusty loaf of bread.

      Can I make this in a slow cooker as I don't have a pressure cooker?

        Yes, you could slow cook it. I have directions for stovetop cooking in the recipe article.
