Chupe de Pescado Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until they are translucent.

  2. 2

    Add Vegetables

    Stir in the diced red pepper, chopped tomato, and potatoes. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. 3

    Add Liquids

    Pour in the fish stock or water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Fish and Shrimp

    Gently add the fish fillets and shrimp to the pot. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.

  5. 5

    Finish the Chowder

    Stir in the corn, evaporated milk, cilantro, salt, black pepper, lime juice, and aji amarillo paste. Cook for another 5 minutes to heat through.

  6. 6
