Method

Cooking the Base

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, celery, and carrot. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Building the Chowder

  1. 3

    Combine Broth and Potatoes

    Pour in the fish stock or vegetable broth and add the diced potatoes along with the bay leaves. Bring to a boil.

  2. 4

    Simmer

    Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Adding the Fish

  1. 5

    Add Fish and Shrimp

    Gently stir in the white fish fillets and shrimp. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.

Finishing Touches

  1. 6

    Incorporate Cream and Season

    Stir in the heavy cream, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Heat through, but do not boil.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Ladle the chowder into bowls and garnish with additional parsley if desired.
