You can use jicama but I find they don't soften as much.

Could you use jicama instead of the radishes?

I had success with freezing my left over clam chowder. It was still delicious when I thawed and reheated it.

No need to add to water first and neither has any taste. I find they work about the same and you only need a small amount.

Does one work or taste better or are they lost in the mix?

I am concerned adding a teaspoon may just turn into a lump!
Is it necessary to add it to water first like cornstarch or better to just broadcast sprinkle it all over so it can't clump?

You need to be careful with heavy cream under pressure as it can curdle. I'd do it on the slow cooker setting of the Instant Pot.

Would you have any idea how to do this recipe in the Instant Pot? It sounds delicious!

I've never frozen it before but have had success freezing other soups.
