Coconut Conch Chowder image

A creamy chowder that came about on Super Bowl Sunday when I was digging in the freezer for chicken wings and came upon a pound of frozen conch. Very colorful. I used a mango pepper sauce.

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound conch meat
¼ cup margarine, divided
2 green onions, chopped
1 carrot, diced
1 stalk celery, diced
1 small sweet potato, peeled and diced
1 small red bell pepper, diced
½ cup fresh corn kernels
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 cups fish stock
1 ½ tablespoons grated fresh ginger root
salt and pepper to taste
