COCONUT COD CHOWDER WITH SEASONED OYSTER CRACKERS
Too often fish chowder is heavy, gloppy, and one-note. Not this one. Coconut milk and lots of zippy aromatics bring life to the dish.

Number Of Ingredients 16
Steps:
- Season cod all over with 1½ tsp. salt; set aside. Heat 3 Tbsp. ghee in a medium Dutch oven over medium. Cook leeks, garlic, and ginger, stirring occasionally, until softened but not browned, about 3 minutes. Add turmeric, coriander, and cardamom and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add chile, potatoes, coconut milk, 1 tsp. salt, and ¾ cup water; bring to a boil (still over medium). Immediately reduce heat so soup is at a bare simmer. Cover, leaving lid slightly askew, and cook until potatoes are barely fork-tender, 10-12 minutes.
- Carefully nestle reserved fish into pot, spoon some broth over, and cover, leaving lid slightly askew. Cook at a bare simmer 4 minutes, then stir in celery. Cook until fish is opaque and flakes easily, about 5 minutes. Taste chowder and season with more salt if needed.
- Meanwhile, heat remaining 2 Tbsp. ghee in a small skillet over medium-low. Add crackers and stir well to coat. Cook, stirring often, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add paprika; toss to evenly coat.
- Slice 1 lime in half and squeeze juice into chowder. Taste and season with more salt if needed. Ladle into bowls, breaking fish into large pieces. Scatter celery leaves over chowder if using and top with crackers. Slice remaining lime into wedges and serve alongside.
FISH CHOWDER WITH HERBED OYSTER CRACKERS
Steps:
- To make the fish chowder:
- In a heavy saucepan cook bacon over moderate heat, stirring, until crisp and transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Pour off fat and in pan cook onion, carrot, and celery in butter over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until softened.
- Sprinkle flour over mixture and cook, stirring, 3 minutes. Stir in paprika and cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Add clam juice, water, and cream and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
- While mixture is coming to a boil, peel potato and cut into 1/4-inch dice. Add potato to mixture and simmer chowder, uncovered, 12 minutes. Stir in fish and simmer until just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Stir in parsley, bacon, and salt and pepper.
- Serve chowder with herbed oyster crackers.
- To make the crackers:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a small saucepan melt butter with thyme, rosemary, and salt and pepper to taste over moderate heat, stirring. Add crackers and toss to coat with butter. On a baking sheet arrange crackers in one layer and bake in middle of oven 10 minutes, or until deep golden.
- Makes 1 1/2 cups.

Steps:
- 1. Place crackers in a large plastic bag. Season with dressing mix, dill weed, garlic powder and lemon pepper. Pour in the oil, close the bag and shake vigorously until crackers are covered with seasoning.
- 2. Store in an airtight container.
Tips:
- Choose the right crackers. Not all crackers are created equal. Some are too soft and will disintegrate in your soup, while others are too hard and will be difficult to chew. Look for a cracker that is sturdy enough to hold up to the soup, but not so hard that it's difficult to eat.
- Don't overcrowd the soup. If you add too many crackers to your soup, they will become soggy and lose their flavor. Add crackers sparingly, and only add more if you need them.
- Let the crackers soften slightly before eating. This will help them to absorb the flavor of the soup and become more flavorful.
- Serve the soup with a variety of toppings. This will allow your guests to customize their soup to their own taste. Some popular toppings include grated cheese, chopped bacon, sliced green onions, and crumbled oyster crackers.
- Store leftover soup properly. Soup with crackers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to eat it, reheat the soup over low heat until it's warmed through.
Conclusion:
Oyster crackers are a versatile and delicious addition to a variety of soups. They are easy to make, and they can be tailored to your own taste. Whether you like your soup thick or thin, creamy or brothy, oyster crackers are a great way to add flavor and texture. So next time you're making soup, be sure to add a handful of oyster crackers. You won't be disappointed.
