Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb white fish fillets cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 cups corn kernels fresh or canned
  • 2 cups diced potatoes
  • 1 onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Seasonings

  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and cut the potatoes into small cubes. If using fresh corn, shuck the corn cobs and remove the kernels.
  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onions and garlic, sauté until translucent.
  • Stir in potatoes and corn, then add chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Gently stir in the heavy cream and add fish pieces. Simmer until fish is cooked through, about 10 minutes.
  • Season the chowder with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.

Serving

  • Ladle the chowder into bowls, garnish with freshly chopped parsley or chives, and serve hot.

Storage

  • Allow chowder to cool completely, then transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
  • To reheat, warm gently on the stove over low heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through.

Notes

Pro Tips: Use fresh fish for best flavor. Let chowder simmer gently to avoid overcooking. Consider adding a splash of lemon juice at the end.
Ingredient Substitutions: Use coconut milk for a dairy-free option. Try different seafood like shrimp or scallops.
How to Serve: Pair with crusty bread or a simple side salad.
Storage & Freshness: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Make-Ahead Tips: Prepare and refrigerate the base, then add fish when reheating to keep it tender.
