LEEKY-FISH CHOWDER



Leeky-Fish Chowder image

This is my fish chowder with leeks and corn. This recipe is kosher and is a dairy meal, so I used a vegetarian chicken-flavored stock. (The brand is Imagine "no-chicken" stock and can be found in the health food section of the grocery store). This is a great heavy chowder for cold rainy days. The ingredients are inexpensive and the whole thing is prepared in one pot, so there is very little cleanup! Enjoy!

SALMON CHOWDER



Salmon Chowder image

My mom makes the most delicious salmon chowder. It always reminds me how tasty leeks are. The combination of tomatoes and cream creates a pretty pink base.

Provided by Marina Delio

Categories     HarperCollins     Soup/Stew     Dinner     Quick & Easy     Salmon     Fish     Seafood     Winter     Tomato     Yogurt     Potato     Leek     Mushroom     White Wine     Milk/Cream     Dill     Wheat/Gluten-Free

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup diced russet potatoes (although any type on hand will do)
1 cup sliced leeks
1 cup sliced button or cremini mushrooms
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup dry white wine
1 (14.5-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
3 cups fish or vegetable stock
1 cup half-and-half, plus 1 tablespoon for garnish
1 cup fat-free plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
Salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste
1 pound wild salmon, cut into about 2-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the potatoes, leeks, and mushrooms. Sauté the vegetables until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and continue to stir for 1 minute. Add the white wine and simmer until most of the liquid has cooked off. Stir in the tomatoes, fish or vegetable stock, half and half, yogurt, parsley, and dill and bring to a low simmer. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the salmon and simmer until just cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  • Ladle into bowls and garnish with drops of half and half and parsley or dill, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh leeks, salmon, and vegetables will make a big difference in the flavor of your chowder.
  • Don't overcook the salmon: Salmon is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it gently. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough.
  • Add the cream at the end: Adding the cream too early will cause it to curdle. Stir it in just before serving for a smooth, creamy chowder.
  • Season to taste: Every palate is different, so be sure to taste your chowder and adjust the seasonings as needed.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh dill or chives add a pop of color and flavor to your chowder.

Conclusion:

Leek and salmon chowder is a delicious and comforting soup that's perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your chowder thick or thin, creamy or brothy, with or without vegetables, there's a recipe out there for you. So next time you're looking for a warm and satisfying meal, give leek and salmon chowder a try.
