Maine Coast Fish Chowder Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 pound cod or other firm white-fleshed fish fillet, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter or margarine
- 2 leeks, thoroughly cleaned and washed, cut into thin slices
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 (32-ounce) container prepared vegetable broth
- 1 (20-ounce) bag refrigerated diced potatoes with onions
- 2 (15-ounce) cans cream-style corn, no salt added
How to cook Maine Coast Fish Chowder:
- To prepare leeks – remove green tops to within 2 inches of white part; peel outside layer of bulbs, then discard. Wash leeks several times in water to remove sand particles; drain.
- In a large saucepan, sauté leeks in butter or margarine until soft; season with kosher salt. Stir in vegetable broth; bring mixture to a boil.
- Add diced potatoes and cream-style corn; return chowder to a boil. Cover and reduce heat; simmer for 10 minutes.
- Carefully add fish; simmer chowder gently, uncovered, just until fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, about 6 to 10 minutes, depending on thickness of fish. Do not overcook.
- Garnish the Maine Coast Fish Chowder with chopped leeks, if desired. Serve immediately.
