Chowder looks delicious, share the recipe? 

💞Spring Chinook Chowder looks very delicious.😋 I'm curious about the tips and recipe.🙄 

It’s been rainy all day here so this is looking especially delicious today! 🤤 

As I don‘t use recipes nor measure, it‘s hard to share a recipe @rudiknmi .. I cook using methods & ingredients in the fridge. First time, I‘ve made it this way. 

Google "Jaspar White chowder recipes“ and you find very good procedures. Here‘s an example which shows the general approach. https://www.cookingchanneltv.com/recipes/new-england-fish-chowder-2117807 

Thx so much ikarüs💞 My best tips are as follows: #1: Don‘t overcook fish - (a) if raw, take the simmering pot of chowder off the stove and add large chunks of fish (1-2“ cubes) allowing them to steep for 8-10 min covered OR (b) if fish is as already cooked, add fish to bowls and pour stock over it at service. #2: Test fish doneness using a thin metal skewer or cake tester by sticking into fish for 2 secons and the touching to the sensitive area just below your bottom lip. Done if it‘s slightly warm #3: Onions, thyme and bacon are a mstch made in heaven. #4: You can thicken your chowder by extracting some cooked potatoes and buzzing them with your soup stock until pureed and then adding back. Or make a roux by adding flour/potato starch/instant potatoes to sweated bacon/onion #5: This chowder used a sauteed sweet corn and red pepper medley from the previous night. Corn adds sweetness and texture. Hopes this helps! 

Chowder on a rainy day is grand moko😊 

Thank you 💞sooo much for your detailed explanation and your time🪻. I am looking forward to try.🫶 

My pleasure ikarüs💞
