Recipe video above. Fish Chowder is such a great easy fish recipe that's can't-stop-eating-it good! A thick and hearty creamy white fish soup, I adore this combination of tender potatoes, carrots, sweet corn and peas with big flakes of fish.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 16

40g / 3 tbsp butter (, unsalted )
2 garlic cloves (, minced)
1 small onion (, finely chopped)
2 small carrots (, halved, cut into 0.5cm / 1/5" slices)
1/2 cup (125ml) dry white wine ((can skip))
1/4 cup (35g) flour ( (plain / all purpose))
3 cups (750 ml) milk (, any fat %)
2 cups (500 ml) fish stock, clam juice OR chicken stock, preferably low sodium (Note 1)
2 cups potato (, 1.5 cm/ 0.5" cubes (~1 large potato))
1 cup corn (, frozen or canned (drained))
0.5 tsp salt (, plus more to taste)
Finely ground black pepper
600 g/1.2 lb white fish fillets (, skinless, cut into 2cm / 4/5" pieces (Note 2))
1 cup peas (, frozen)
1/4 cup green onions (, halved and finely sliced (garnish))
Crusty bread for dunking

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat.
  • Add garlic and onion, cook for 5 minutes until translucent but not golden.
  • Add carrots and stir through.
  • Turn heat up to high and add wine. Stir then let it simmer rapidly until it's mostly evaporated.
  • Add flour and stir for 30 seconds - it will become sludgy!
  • Slow pour in broth while stirring to dissolve paste, then stir in milk.
  • Add potato, corn, salt and pepper. Bring to simmer then turn heat down so it's simmering gently.
  • Cook, stirring every now and then, for 8 minutes or until potato is almost cooked.
  • Add fish and peas, simmer for 3 minutes or until fish is just cooked (should flake easily).
  • Adjust salt and pepper to taste. If soup is too thick, add a touch of water or milk.
  • Serve, garnished with green onions and crusty bread on the side for dunking!

SPRING PEA SOUP



Spring Pea Soup image

Want a tasty, textured pea soup that tastes like springtime? You have to start in the freezer section of the supermarket to get the best results. I like frozen peas to build the base of the soup and then enrich it, last minute, with some fresh peas. Lots of people add bacon or Parmesan to garnish, and that's all fine to me, but I largely prefer the crunch of fresh peas or pea tops (a true sign of spring) and a dollop of sour cream. Use whatever peas are at the supermarket, sugar snap or snow peas.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
6 scallions, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Two 10-ounce packages frozen peas, thawed
2 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons honey
1 cup sugar snap or snow peas, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch slices
Leaves picked from 6 to 8 stems fresh basil

Steps:

  • In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the scallions and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until the scallions are tender, 2 to 3 minutes, then add the peas, stock and 1 cup of water. Bring to boil, then simmer over medium heat and cook for about 5 minutes to allow the peas to soften further.
  • Using a jar blender, carefully puree the soup until smooth (see Cook's Note). Pour the soup back into the pot, then add the sour cream and honey, and gently warm for 1 to 2 minutes. Taste for seasoning. Garnish the bottom of each serving bowl with the fresh pea slices and basil leaves. Ladle the soup on top and serve.
