Rustic Fish Chowder
President John F. Kennedy's affinity for fish chowder was likely inspired by his love of sailing off the coast of New England. In my version, I use fresh halibut my brother-in-law, a commercial fisherman, catches in Kodiak, Alaska. Top servings with grated Parmesan, minced green onions or a few drops of hot sauce.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup butter, cubed
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 3 pounds potatoes (about 6 medium), cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1-1/2 cups fresh or frozen corn
- 5 cups chicken broth
- 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
- 3/4 teaspoon celery salt
- 3/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 pound cod or halibut fillets, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Directions
- 1. In a 6-qt. stockpot, heat butter over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until tender, 3-4 minutes. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Add potatoes, corn, broth, salt, celery salt, pepper and thyme; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, until potatoes are tender, 10-15 minutes. Mash potatoes slightly.
- 2. Stir in cod and cream; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork, 6-8 minutes.
