Description

This Fish & Leek Chowder is the ultimate comfort food for chilly evenings. It combines tender cubes of shark and cod with sweet bay scallops, simmered slowly in a savory broth infused with white wine, thyme, and fresh parsley. The base is built with aromatic leeks, carrots, bell peppers, and potatoes, creating a thick, satisfying texture. Finished with a splash of evaporated milk, the soup is creamy without being heavy. Its a perfect weeknight dinner that feels special enough for guests. Serve it hot with crusty bread to soak up every delicious drop.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Melt the margarine in a large soup kettle or heavy-bottomed pot over moderate heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add the chopped carrots and cook for several minutes until they begin to soften.
  4. Stir in the bell pepper, anaheim chili, leeks, and bay leaves. Cook for about 3 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Add the chopped tomatoes, cubed potatoes, fish stock, white wine, black pepper, thyme sprigs, and chopped parsley.
  6. Bring the mixture to a low boil, then reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer.
  7. Cover and simmer until the potatoes are almost tender, about 10 to 20 minutes.
  8. Add the cubed shark, dried cod, and bay scallops to the pot.
  9. Simmer, covered, until the fish is just cooked through and opaque, about 5 to 15 minutes. Do not overcook.
  10. Stir in the evaporated milk gently and heat through for 1 minute without boiling.
  11. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley leaves and a dash of hot pepper sauce if desired.
