Fish chowder

in

This thick, tasty chowder is easy to prepare, and works well with fresh or frozen fish.

Smoked cod or haddock can be used, or any other smoked white fish (but not an oily fish like mackeral or kippers).

Don't season the soup until the end, smoked fish is sometimes salty, so the soup might need less salt than usual.

Ingredients

1 medium onion
1 clove garlic
2 medium potatoes
150g fresh or frozen sweetcorn
200g smoked cod
Salt and black pepper to taste

Method

  1. Slice the onion and garlic, fry gently in a little oil or butter to soften.

  2. Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1cm slices. Add the potatoes and corn to the pan.

  3. Top up to about a litre with boiling water. Simmer for 15-20 minutes until the potato is cooked.

  4. Blend or liquidise the mixture.

  5. Skin the fish, remove any bones, and cut it into bitesize pieces.

  6. Add the fish to the soup and continue simmering for a few more minutes until the fish is cooked.

  7. Check the seasoning, and serve.
