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

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.

SPRING PEA FISH CHOWDER



Spring Pea Fish Chowder image

Sweet peas, pea shoots, and a sprinkle of lemon zest give this light, just-creamy-enough chowder an extra dose of freshness. While cod might be a more traditional chowder choice, we love halibut for its meatier texture and sweeter flavor.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 leeks, white and pale green parts only, tough outer layer removed
2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 lb. baby creamer (Yukon Gold) potatoes, halved (quartered if larger than 1 1/2" in diameter)
2 tsp. kosher salt, divided
1 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper, plus more
1 cup pure clam juice
2 bay leaves
1 lb. skinless halibut or cod fillet, cut into 2x1" pieces
1 cup heavy cream
1 (10-oz.) bag frozen sweet peas, thawed
1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
Pea shoots (tendrils) or sprouts, basil leaves, finely grated lemon zest, and flaky sea salt (for serving)

Steps:

  • Cut leeks into 1/4" rounds. Rinse, tossing with hands so that leeks separate into individual rings, and drain thoroughly. Transfer to a medium pot. Add oil and toss to coat. Cover pot and cook over medium heat until leeks begin to soften, 5-6 minutes. Add potatoes, 1 tsp. kosher salt, and 1 1/2 tsp. pepper and stir to combine. Add clam juice, bay leaves, and 2 cups water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, uncovered, until potatoes are fork-tender, 10-12 minutes.
  • Season halibut with remaining 1 tsp. kosher salt. Add to pot along with cream and peas and stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, until halibut is opaque, 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice.
  • Divide chowder among bowls. Top with pea shoots, basil, and lemon zest. Season with sea salt and a generous amount of pepper.

Tips:

  • Prepare ingredients in advance: Finely dice the vegetables and herbs before starting to cook. This will save time and ensure even cooking.
  • Choose the right fish: Any firm-fleshed white fish, such as cod, halibut, or haddock, will work well in this recipe. Avoid fish that are too flaky, as they will break up during cooking.
  • Don't overcook the fish: The fish should be cooked until it is just opaque in the center. Overcooking will make the fish tough and dry.
  • Add the cream and peas at the end: This will help to prevent the cream from curdling and the peas from becoming overcooked.
  • Serve immediately: Fish chowder is best served hot. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Spring pea fish chowder is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold day. It is also a great way to use up leftover fish. With its combination of fresh vegetables, tender fish, and creamy broth, this soup is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
