Ingredients
- Butter
- 2 tablespoons
- Onion
- 1 medium, chopped
- Garlic
- 2 cloves, minced
- Potatoes
- 2 cups, diced (about 2 medium potatoes)
- Chicken broth
- 4 cups
- Fresh haddock fillets
- 1 pound, cut into bite-sized pieces
- Heavy cream
- 1 cup
- Salt
- to taste
- Pepper
- to taste
- Fresh parsley
- for garnish, chopped
Instructions
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and soft, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the diced potatoes and pour in the chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer until the potatoes are tender, approximately 15 minutes.
- Gently add the haddock pieces to the pot and cook until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, about 10 minutes.
- Pour in the heavy cream, stirring gently to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the chowder to cook for an additional 5 minutes until heated through.
- Ladle the chowder into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Tips
- For a richer flavor, try using homemade fish stock instead of chicken broth.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like corn or celery for additional texture and flavor.
- If you prefer a thicker chowder, you can mash some of the potatoes against the side of the pot before adding the cream.
