Creamy Fish & Corn Chowder
with Potato & Fresh Herbs
The first soup on this page, and a genuinely comforting one — potato and corn simmered soft, finished creamy, with chunks of fish poached gently right at the end so they stay tender instead of turning stringy.
Ingredients (for 2)
Pantry basics not counted above: salt & pepper to taste.
Method
-
Start the base
Finely chop the onion and garlic. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat and cook the onion until softened, 3–4 minutes, then the garlic for a minute more.
-
Simmer the potato and corn
Add the potato, corn, stock powder and water. Bring to a simmer and cook until the potato is tender, 12–15 minutes.
-
Make it creamy
Stir in the cream and let it come back to a gentle simmer. For a thicker chowder, roughly mash some of the potato against the side of the pot as you stir.
-
Poach the fish
Cut the fish into bite-sized chunks and lower them into the soup. Simmer gently, without stirring too much, until just cooked through, 4–5 minutes.
-
Serve
Season to taste and ladle into bowls. Scatter with chopped chives or parsley.
