Quick Corn Potato Chowder

I like this recipe as a guide but I will triple it and use frozen corn. I skipped the flour and I also added chopped fresh garlic and cooked it for 4 minutes in my Pressure cooker. I used regular potatoes and I added chopped red bell pepper for color.

Ingredients

1 medium onion, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) chicken broth
3 large Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 can (15-1/4 ounces) whole kernel corn, drained
1 cup 2% milk, divided
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
Minced fresh parsley, optional
