Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the diced onion, carrots, celery, and minced garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
- Gently add the swordfish pieces to the pot and cook until they are opaque and cooked through, about 5 minutes.
- Incorporate the diced potatoes, chicken broth, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper into the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Stir in the heavy cream and let it cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Remove the bay leaf and taste the chowder, adjusting the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve the chowder hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
Tips
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a few dashes of hot sauce.
- Feel free to substitute swordfish with other firm white fish such as cod or halibut.
- This chowder can be made ahead of time; just reheat gently before serving.
