Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 cup pure olive oil
2 large onions, diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
2 leeks, white and light green parts only, split, cleaned, and diced (about 2 1/2 cups
5 stalks celery, diced (about 1 cup)
1/4 cup finely chopped garlic
1 cup canned plum tomatoes, drained, seeded, and diced
1 teaspoon saffron threads
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup dry white wine
3 quarts water
2 Idaho potatoes (about 1 pound), peeled and diced
1/2 to 3/4 pound mixed fish (any variety or mixture will do) cleaned, peeled or boned, and cut into small cubes (Snapper fillet, small shrimp, fresh cod)
French baguette, sliced 1/4-inch thick (about 3 to 4 slices per person)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 to 2 teaspoons cracked black peppercorns

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed soup pot, add the onions, leeks, and celery, and saute until translucent, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic, tomatoes, saffron, and seasonings. Stir about 2 minutes, then add the white wine and cook 4 to 5 minutes, or until almost all the liquid has evaporated, before adding the water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook 45 minutes. At the end of 45 minutes, add the potatoes and cook 20 minutes longer, or until the potatoes are tender.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. While the broth is simmering, make the Peppery Croutons: Brush one side of each French bread slice with olive oil, sprinkle with cracked pepper, and toast in the oven until crisp (about 12 minutes).
  • After the potatoes have simmered 20 minutes, add the fish. Reheat to just below a boil and cook at a strong simmer 3 to 5 minutes, until the fish is cooked but not yet flaking apart. Remove the bay leaves, taste for seasoning, and serve immediately, garnished with Peppery Croutons.

This chowder was a bit disappointing. The broth was bland, and the fish was overcooked.

This chowder is a bit too rich for my taste. I would recommend using less cream next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my chowder didn't turn out as good as I hoped. It was a bit bland, and the fish was overcooked.

This was the perfect comfort food for a cold winter day. The chowder was thick and creamy, and the fish was flaky and moist.

This chowder is a seafood lover's dream! The broth is rich and flavorful, and the fish is cooked to perfection. I especially loved the addition of the Old Bay seasoning, which gave the chowder a nice kick.
