Coconut milk adds a soft, nutty taste to this Asian fish chowder, while also thickening it. When cooking with coconut milk or cream, don't let the liquid boil or it may curdle or separate.

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 small onion, cut into very thin wedges
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
4 fresh or frozen kaffir lime leaves
2 cups homemade or frozen fish stock
6 ounces baby potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
2 stalks celery, thinly sliced on the bias
1/4 pound green beans, stem ends trimmed, cut into 1 1/2-inch lengths
1 one-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely julienned (about 2 tablespoons)
3 cups unsweetened coconut milk
1 pound cod fillets, cut into large chunks
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 bunch fresh chives, cut into 1 1/2-inch lengths, for garnish
6 tablespoons freshly grated or desiccated coconut, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat butter in a large saucepan or small stockpot over medium heat. Add onion, and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic and lime leaves; cook 1 minute. Add fish stock, potatoes, celery, green beans, and ginger; bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook 7 to 9 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to low. Add coconut milk, and bring almost to a simmer. Add fish; without stirring, simmer until the fish is opaque and vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Ladle the soup into bowls; garnish with chives and coconut. Serve immediately.

This chowder is a great way to use up leftover fish. I also like to add a can of corn and a can of black beans to make it a more substantial meal.
