COD CHOWDER NEWFOUNDLAND STYLE

Cod Chowder Newfoundland Style image

I am not a fan of seafood chowders but my family is and I know there are a few of you here as well. You can also use halibut or haddock instead of cod. This recipe is timed to cook just until the seafood is firm without toughening or falling apart. A great Canadian recipe from Canadian Living.

MOM'S NOVA SCOTIA SEAFOOD CHOWDER

Mom's Nova Scotia Seafood Chowder image

Being from the Easy Coast, I've tried a lot of different chowders; however, my Mom's takes the cake. She makes a huge pot of this chowder every Christmas Eve and all of it is gone by Christmas night. Although it is not very healthy, it is an awesome treat once in awhile for any of us that love seafood! I normally throw in a dash of garlic and onion powder. Enjoy!

CODFISH CHOWDER

A great, easy chowder made with bacon, potatoes, corn and fish. You can replace the milk with half-and-half or cream and the fish with seafood if you want a richer chowder.

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

8 slices bacon, diced
1 large onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 ½ tablespoons seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
1 (16 ounce) can chicken broth
3 red potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
4 ears sweet corn, shucked and kernels cut off
½ cup water, or as needed to cover
2 cups whole milk, or more as needed
2 tablespoons butter
1 pound thick cod fillets, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

Cook bacon in a soup pot over medium heat until crisp and brown, about 10 minutes. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon, leaving drippings in the pot. Cook and stir onion and red bell pepper until softened, about 5 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Stir in garlic and seafood seasoning and cook and stir 2 more minutes.
Pour in chicken broth and stir in potatoes and corn; add water if needed to cover vegetables. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low; simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.

Tips:

For a smoother chowder, blend a cup of the cooked chowder until smooth and then stir it back into the pot.
If you don't have salt pork, you can use bacon instead. Just cook it until it's crispy and then chop it up.
If you can't find fresh cod, you can use frozen cod fillets. Just thaw them before cooking.
Serve the chowder with a side of crusty bread or crackers.

Conclusion:

Newfoundland cod chowder is a hearty and flavorful dish that's perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a comforting and satisfying meal, give this recipe a try.
