Instructions
Instant Pot Instructions:
- Turn Instant Pot to the sauté setting. When the display says HOT add in the oil and the onions. Sauté for about 4 minutes. Deglaze the pot with the chicken broth.
- Turn off the Instant Pot. Add in the green pepper, potatoes, chicken, corn, Worcestershire, hot sauce, smoked paprika, salt and pepper.
- Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the soup button to 2 minutes. When time is up let the pot sit for about 10 minutes and then move the valve to venting. Remove the lid.
- In a glass measuring warm the half and half for about 1 minute in the microwave. Then add a tablespoon at a time of flour whisking until all flour is dissolved and no lumps remain. Ladle in about ¼ cup of soup broth into mixture and whisk. This will temper the dairy to prevent curdling. Add another ¼ cup of broth. Then add the entire mixture into the Instant Pot. Turn Instant Pot to sauté setting. Stir until soup thickens and raw flour taste cooks off (about 3-5 minutes).
- Salt and pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls and serve. Add an extra dash of hot sauce in each bowl.
Slow Cooker Instructions:
- In a pan on the stove over medium heat melt ¼ cup butter. Add in the onions and sauté for about 4 minutes. Sprinkle in ¼ cup of flour a tablespoon at a time and whisk well. Add in the broth and whisk well until mixture is thick and creamy, about 4 more minutes. Pour mixture into the slow cooker.
