For a thicker chowder, mash some of the potatoes before adding the milk. Feel free to substitute the cod with other white fish like haddock or halibut. A dash of hot sauce or a sprinkle of fresh parsley adds a nice finishing touch.
A creamy and comforting Potato Fish Chowder, perfect for warming up on a chilly evening. This hearty soup combines tender potatoes, flaky cod, and aromatic herbs in a rich, flavorful broth. A versatile recipe, it's easily adaptable for different seafood, making it a delightful meal any time of year.
Melt butter in a 5-quart saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir onion, celery, and garlic in melted butter until onion is tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
Stir flour into the saucepan until vegetables are evenly coated. Pour in clam juice and water; whisk until smooth. Add potatoes, bay leaf, and thyme; bring liquid to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
Gently stir cod into the soup. Cover the saucepan and cook until cod is flaky, about 8 minutes.
Stir in milk and simmer until soup is hot, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove bay leaf to serve.
