Number Of Ingredients 0

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a pan and brown the bacon well until it is crisp and golden.
  • Add the onion, cover and sweat for a few minutes over a low heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the fish stock or water gradually. Add the milk, bouquet garni and potatoes. Season well with salt, pepper, mace and cayenne.
  • Cover and simmer until the potatoes are almost cooked, approximately 5-6 minutes. (The chowder may be prepared ahead to this point.)
  • Cut the fish into 2.5cm cubes. Add to the pot as soon as the tip of a knife will go through a potato.
  • Simmer gently for 3-4 minutes, turn up the heat and stir in the cream and add the shellfish. When boiling, remove from the heat.
  • Taste, correct the seasoning and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and chives.
  • Serve in a warmed bread trencher (crusty bread roll with the top cut off and hollowed out.)

Tips:

  • Use fresh seafood. Fresh seafood will give your chowder the best flavor. If you can't find fresh seafood, frozen seafood is a good substitute.
  • Don't overcook the seafood. Overcooked seafood is tough and chewy. Cook the seafood just until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. A variety of vegetables will give your chowder a more complex flavor and texture. Some good choices include celery, carrots, potatoes, corn, and peas.
  • Use a good quality broth. The broth is the base of your chowder, so it's important to use a good quality broth. Homemade broth is always best, but you can also use a good quality store-bought broth.
  • Season your chowder to taste. Add salt and pepper to taste, and feel free to add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.

Conclusion:

Golden seafood chowder is a delicious and hearty soup that is 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 quick and easy meal, give golden seafood chowder a try. You won't be disappointed!
