FISH CHOWDER

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large stock pot. As the olive oil starts to shine, add in the carrots, celery, and onions. You should hear a sizzle indicating the oil is up to temperature.
• Use a wooden spoon to stir the vegetables in the olive oil every minute or so. Allow the vegetables to saute without browning, until the onions start to become soft and translucent. The carrots and celery will still be more on the vibrant and stiff side. This should take about 10 minutes.
• Add the potatoes to the pot and give a good stir. Allow them to mingle for just two minutes before adding in the liquid (stock and water).
• Add the bay leaves on top. Cover and increase the heat to high, bringing the pot to a boil. Boil until potatoes are just fork tender. You do not want the potatoes to become mushy. This will take about 20-30 minutes.
• Once the potatoes have become tender, bring the heat down to low. Add the chopped fish. Stir so all fish cooks evenly and has been covered by the stock.
• Meanwhile, make the roux. Melt the butter in a 10 inch skillet.
• Dust in the flour and whisk to combine and cook out the rawness of the flour.
• As the mixture bubbles, slowly pour in the evaporated milk in 3 steps, whisking and allowing the mixture to thicken between each. It should have the consistency of a loose cake batter.
• Add the salt and pepper to the roux giving a final stir.
• Add the roux to the simmering stock pot and stir well. This will help to thicken the soup into a chowder and give a creamy texture.
