Smoky Corn Chowder

This corn chowder has the best flavor thanks to the smoked paprika and liquid smoke. We also use frozen roasted corn from Trader Joes to give it even more of a smoky roasted flavor.

There are directions on how to make this corn chowder for both the instant pot and stove top below.
