Time 25m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
3 slices bacon, chopped
1 onion, sliced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
Two 7-ounce cans chopped green chiles
5 ears corn, kernels sliced off (2 1/2 to 3 cups)
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 1/3 cups chicken stock or broth
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 heaping cup grated Monterey Jack
1 heaping cup grated pepper jack
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup sliced green onions

Steps:

Set a 6-quart multi-cooker to the saute setting and add the butter. Add the bacon, onions and oregano and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions start to become translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the green chiles, corn and garlic and cook for an additional minute. Add 3 cups of the chicken stock.
In a separate bowl, whisk the cornstarch into the remaining 1/3 cup chicken stock. Add to the multi-cooker and stir well. Cover and position the vent to the sealing setting. Set the multi-cooker to pressure-cook on high for 5 minutes. When the time is up, carefully quick release the steam (it takes about 3 minutes), then remove the lid.
Mix in the heavy cream. Stir in the cheeses until they have melted completely. Check the seasoning; add salt and pepper as needed. Ladle into bowls and serve immediately garnished with the green onions.
