Fish Chowder
June 22, 2010
Easy delicious Fish Chowder recipe.
Makes an excellent winter comfort food.
Its nice to have a bowl of hot soup during cold winter days...
I used whatever fish I had in my freezer section... it would be nice to add a little touch of smoked fish... it will give that lovely flavour of smoked fish and cream...
- hiramasa and salmon cutlets - deboned and cut into chunks...
- 1 brown onion - chopped
- 2 garlic- chopped
- 1 1/2 cups of fish stock (use the fish bones and whetever flesh left on the bones ...bring to boil with some salt and water)
- diced potatoes
- 100g sliced mushrooms
- 1 cup of milk or 300 ml cream
- 2 tablespoon of plain flour
- 50g butter
- some thyme
- bay leaf
- paprika
- salt and pepper
Melt the butter in a hot pan with a little bit of olive oil. Saute the onion and garlic until transparents... Add in flour and give a quick stir around the pot. Pour in the fish stock with bay leaf. Add potatoes and bring to boil and simmer for a while until the potatoes are soft and tender. Add milk or cream, with a dash of paprika, a pinch of thyme and salt and pepper to taste. Leave it to simmer again to enhance the flavour.
Lastly add fish and mushrooms.... Bring to a quick boil for few minutes until the fish chunks are cooked, cover and turn off the heat. Serve with bread rolls...
