We compute the first order chiral phase transition for an instanton motivated quark model with a local six-quark interaction. In order to compare different solutions of the gap equation we compute the bosonic effective action -- a two particle irreducible free energy functional. We find that the first order transition ends for a critical current quark mass, with continuous crossover for larger quark masses. Furthermore, we investigate different possible order parameters, including a color octet condensate. We also compare our formalism with mean field theory.
