FISH AND CORN CHOWDER

Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 quart seafood or chicken stock
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
4 slices smoky bacon, finely chopped
1 onion, chopped
4 to 5 ribs celery hearts with leafy tops, finely chopped
2 starchy potatoes, peeled and chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 fresh bay leaves
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme leaves or 2 teaspoons dried thyme
3 ears corn, kernels removed or 2 cups frozen kernels, defrosted
2 pounds haddock
1 tablespoon seafood seasoning (recommended: Old Bay)
1 cup whole milk
2 cups heavy cream
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons chopped chives, optional
2 tablespoons chopped dill leaves, optional
1 lemon, zested, optional
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Oyster crackers, to pass at table
Hot sauce, to pass at table

Steps:

  • Heat the stock in small pot over medium heat.
  • In a large soup pot over medium to medium-high heat, add the extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan. Add the bacon and cook for a couple of minutes to brown, add the onion, celery, potatoes, garlic, bay leaves, thyme, and corn. As you chop and add items to the pot, keep the pot covered so the vegetables sweat faster and the heat stays trapped in the pot. Once all of the vegetables are chopped and into the soup pot, add the hot stock and bring to boil, it should happen almost immediately. Season the haddock with the seafood seasoning. Add the haddock, cover the pot and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook the fish 5 to 6 minutes then uncover and gently break up the haddock into chunks. Stir to combine, then add the milk, cream and butter. Simmer and reduce for 5 to 6 minutes more.
  • While the chowder is reducing, combine the chives, dill and lemon zest in a small bowl as an optional garnish for the soup. Taste the soup and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Remove the bay leaves, ladle the soup into serving bowls and serve with crackers, hot sauce, and the herb-lemon mixture, if desired.

FRESH CORN AND CRAB CHOWDER



Fresh Corn and Crab Chowder image

I adapted this recipe from a camping cookbook, Simple Foods for the Pack, by Claudia Axcell, Diana Cooke and Vikki Kinmont. Originally almost all the ingredients were dehydrated (except for the canned crab) so that you can just throw them all in a ziplock and heat them in camp with water. This is probably a great idea for OAMC, but this recipe is also very fast to put together if you haven't made it ahead. I had it on the table within half an hour from start to finish, and that included time to cook the potatoes in the microwave. This chowder is very rich even without any dairy in it, and obviously you could make it vegetarian without the crab.
