Keep bacon fat in pot; you should have about 3 tablespoons.. Add onions and diced potatoes, sauteing 5 minutes or until onion is tender. Stir frequently.. Add flour and stir constantly, about 1 minute. Stir in broth/juices, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 10 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender. Stir in milk, thyme, pepper and salt, increase heat to medium-high, and stirring constantly, bring to a simmer (do not boil)..

FISH AND CORN CHOWDER

Steps:

• Heat the stock in small pot over medium heat.
• In a large soup pot over medium to medium-high heat, add the extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan. Add the bacon and cook for a couple of minutes to brown, add the onion, celery, potatoes, garlic, bay leaves, thyme, and corn. As you chop and add items to the pot, keep the pot covered so the vegetables sweat faster and the heat stays trapped in the pot. Once all of the vegetables are chopped and into the soup pot, add the hot stock and bring to boil, it should happen almost immediately. Season the haddock with the seafood seasoning. Add the haddock, cover the pot and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook the fish 5 to 6 minutes then uncover and gently break up the haddock into chunks. Stir to combine, then add the milk, cream and butter. Simmer and reduce for 5 to 6 minutes more.
• While the chowder is reducing, combine the chives, dill and lemon zest in a small bowl as an optional garnish for the soup. Taste the soup and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Remove the bay leaves, ladle the soup into serving bowls and serve with crackers, hot sauce, and the herb-lemon mixture, if desired.

SEAFOOD CHOWDER WITH SQUASH

Steps:

• Make the chowder base. In a medium pot, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 6 minutes. Add the leek, shallot, garlic, and ginger and cook, stirring occasionally, until the leek is softened, about 6 minutes. Add the squash, carrot, and curry powder, season with salt, and cook, stirring, for a few minutes.
• Raise the heat to medium-high, add the lemongrass, bay leaf, coconut milk, and broth, and bring to a simmer. Cook the chowder base until the squash and carrots are very tender, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the mussels. In a medium pot, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the shallot and garlic and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 3 minutes. Increase the heat to high, add the wine, and bring to a boil. Add the mussels, cover the pot, and steam them until they just open wide, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer the mussels to a medium bowl. Remove the mussels from the shells; discard the shells and any mussels that haven't opened. Strain the broth into a small bowl.
• Once the squash is tender, discard the lemongrass and bay leaf. Process the chowder base in a blender until very smooth and creamy, then pass through a fine-mesh strainer into a large pot.
• Bring the chowder base to a simmer, then add the raw diced squash, potatoes, and turnips and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Add the radishes, shrimp, and sea bass and simmer for about 3 minutes. Stir in the mussels and red pepper. The soup's consistency should be thinner than traditional chowder-add a splash of the reserved mussel liquid, if needed. Season with a touch of salt and pepper. Serve the chowder in bowls, topped with a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil, the red onion, chives, and Aleppo pepper.

FISH AND POTATO CHOWDER

Steps:

• In a med size pot, bring the 5 cups of water up to a boil, add the stock cube and the potatoes and cook for about 10 - 15 mins until potatoes are done. Keep warm.
• In a larger stock pot, melt the butter, add the olive oil, and sauté the onions, garlic, celery and green onions all together. Add the bay leave and all the spices.
• Cook for about 10 mins or until onions are softened. Add the flour and stir for about 5 - 6 mins until flour starts to brown a bit. Now bring the potatoes and stock water up to temp again and pour into the other pot with the veggies. Stir well to dissolve the flour roux you've made.
• Bring up to a boil and add the milk and sour cream, stirring well to dissolve the sour cream. Now add the fish which has been diced into small bite sized pieces, stir well. Turn down to MED, cover, and let cook for about an hour, stirring occasionally to insure its not scorching and sticking to the bottom of the pot. Dish out and enjoy.
• I like serving this with some old fashioned saltine crackers and a little hot sauce. This is an amazing soup I'd like for you to try. As for fish to use, you can use catfish, cod, flounder, talapia, or haddock, all very mild and tasty.
