Cod Chowder for Two

"Before my husband developed his severe allergy to white fish, I used to cook it a lot. Found this recipe while going through some older binders. I do remember that the original recipe called for haddock, but I don't really care for haddock and so used cod instead."

  1. This chowder was very good for the amount of prep and cook time. It was simple to make and was very tasty. I used 2% milk and butter, but I would imagine that using cream would make the recipe a little more luxurious. I would also imagine that you could use any firm fish or clams in this chowder.
     
  2. This was the best cod chowder I ever had. I loved this recipe. It allowed me to change it slightly to suit myself. I left out mushrooms, I used partly whole milk and half & half, cuz that's what I had on hand. I used fresh corn I just bought at a roadside stand. I added a dash of Maggi's, cuz I like it in practically everything. Thank you, Lennie, for sharing this fabulous, loving recipe.
     
  3. A friend brought us 2lbs of Cod they caught in the waters off Salvage, Newfoundland. It demanded a Royal recipe, I'm very glad I found this one. Sorry I cheated a bit! (1/2 cup, Half&Half & 1/2 pat of butter, got no willpower)
     
  4. Thank you for sharing your lovely recipe Lennie. I added a little extra cod, salt, pepper and butter. Used a combination of milk and half n half cream for a slightly thicker liquid.. This recipe made a lovely satisfying chowder, that was flavorful, silky and filling. We really enjoyed this chowder. I bet this would be a great base for clam chowder.
     
  5. I added 1 clove of garlic and cooked the potatoes with 1/4 cup clam juice instead of the water. It was fantastic. Topped it with parsley.

  2. Had Lennie's husband not developed a severe allergy to white fish would we be without this tasty soup? A simple, tasty beach house meal. Add an october evening, offshore breeze and an Australian Shiraz. I have a severe aversion to celery so I replaced it with bacon and thickened it with a bit with flour.
     
  3. Very enjoyable, I will definitely make it again! I followed the recipe almost exactly - I used cream instead of milk and olive oil for the butter. Yum!
