Categories     Food & Cooking     Soups, Stews & Stocks     Soup Recipes

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 slices bacon, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1 small onion, chopped
1 small orange or yellow bell pepper (ribs and seeds removed), chopped
1 celery stalk, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
1 baking potato, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch cubes
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, in juice
1 bottle (8 ounces) clam juice
2 skinless cod fillets (6 to 8 ounces each)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Place bacon and onion in a 2-quart microwave-safe dish with a lid. Microwave on high, uncovered, until bacon is crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in bell pepper, celery, and potato; season with salt and pepper. Cover, and microwave on high until celery is crisp-tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Add tomatoes (with their juice) and clam juice; cover, and microwave until liquid is hot, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Season fish with salt and pepper; place in dish on top of vegetables. Cover, and microwave on high until fish is almost cooked through, about 4 minutes. Let stand, covered, 5 minutes to finish cooking. Flake fish with a fork, and add parsley; stir to combine chowder.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest seafood possible. This will ensure that your chowder has the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the seafood. Overcooked seafood is tough and chewy.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor and texture to your chowder.
  • Use a flavorful broth. This is the base of your chowder, so make sure it has a lot of flavor.
  • Season your chowder to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.
  • Serve your chowder hot. Chowder is best served hot, so make sure to reheat it if you are making it ahead of time.

Conclusion:

Chowder is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a cold day. With its creamy broth, tender seafood, and hearty vegetables, chowder is sure to warm you up from the inside out. So next time you're looking for a comforting and satisfying meal, give chowder a try.
