Chowder Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Potatoes and Broth

    Add the diced potatoes to the pot and pour in the chicken or vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Fish

    Add the fresh fish and smoked fish to the pot, along with the thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through.

  4. 4

    Finish with Cream

    Stir in the heavy cream, and let the chowder heat through for another 2-3 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Ladle the chowder into bowls and garnish with additional thyme if desired. Serve hot.
