Potato Fish Chowder

Something warm on those cold winter days! I’ve used this recipe to also make oyster stew. It turned out better than expected.

Step: 1

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.

Step: 2

Stir flour into the vegetable mixture until the vegetables are evenly coated. Pour clam juice and water into the saucepan; whisk until smooth. Add potatoes, bay leaf, and thyme to the mixture. Bring the liquid to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook at a simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.

Step: 3

Gently stir cod into the soup. Place a cover on the saucepan and cook until the cod is flaky, about 8 minutes.

Step: 4

Pour milk into the soup; stir. Simmer soup until hot, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove bay leaf to serve.

The word “stew” can refer to both a food and a make dishes method. Stewing involves not fast cooking chunks of meat, raw fruit or beans in a flavorful water based . It’s similar to braising, but it does have a few piece of differences. The meat is chopped into smaller pieces instead of being cooked all of it , and the liquid completely covers the essential in a stew as different to a braise’s halfway full . When meat or vegetables are cooked using this method, the resulting dish is called stew.

Stew has a reputation for being a rib-sticking meal that warms you up on a freezing , winter day. It’s right that ; a bowl of classic beef stew does have warming properties , but stew’s cozy factor more than a way beyond protecting you from the cold . It’s all about those tender chunks of meat and vegetables, swimming in a thick, ultra-rich gravy. The way they come together make the ultimate comfort food, no matter the weather.
