  2. Add the diced carrots, celery, and onion, sautéing for 4–5 minutes until softened.
  3. Stir in 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to ensure spices are evenly distributed.
  4. Sprinkle ¼ cup of all-purpose flour over the mixture, stirring constantly for 1–2 minutes to form a roux.
  5. Gradually pour in 4 cups of chicken broth while continuously stirring to prevent lumps.
  6. Add 2 cups of diced potatoes and 1 cup of corn kernels to the pot, stir well to combine.
  7. Seal the lid of the pressure cooker and set it to cook on high pressure for 6 minutes.
  8. Once time is up, perform a quick-release of pressure carefully.
  9. Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream, stirring gently to combine and simmer for a couple of minutes.
  10. Use an immersion blender to blend part of the soup to your desired consistency.
  11. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Enjoy!
