19 years ago

My mother makes this soup all the time. My husband and daughter really like it (I don't like fish much).

Fish Chowder

2 medium onions, chopped

2 medium peppers (1 red, 1 green),chopped

2 cloves garlic, crushed

2 Tbsp butter or margarine

1 (28 oz, 796 mL) can tomatoes, broken up

Â½ Tbsp thyme

Â¼ tsp cayenne (optional)

2 medium potatoes, peeled and cut in Â½-inch (1.25 cm) cubes

3 cups water

1 cup dry white wine (or water)

1 pkg (250g) cream cheese, cubed

1 kg (2 lbs) fish fillets (haddock, cod, or pike), cut in chunks

Â¼ cup chopped parsley, or to taste

2 tsp salt

Â¼ tsp pepper

In a large pot, sautÃ© onions, peppers and garlic in butter until tender. Add tomatoes, thyme and cayenne; bring to a boil. Add potatoes, cover and simmer 10 minutes. Add water and wine; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, add cubed cream cheese and stir until cheese melts. Add fish and parsley; bring to a simmer; cover and cook 4 minutes or until fish flakes easily with fork (donÂt overcook). Stir in salt and pepper. Serve in warm bowls. 6-8 servings.

Sounds like you left out the warm, crusty bread to help soak up all that goodness. Nice recipe!

Thanks for sharing - my husband brought home a big Ling Cod a few weeks ago, and I've been on the lookout for tasty ways to cook it. I don't really care much for fish either, but this sounds like it has enough going on flavorwise that I could enjoy it.

I hope you all enjoy it! My daughter is pretty fussy when it comes to fish. I didn't tell her what was in it when she started eating it. She said it was really good! When I asked her if she wanted to know what was in it, she said "Don't tell me, I don't wanna know because it's good!" LOL That time, it was made with pike.

I might toss a pinch of saffron in that myself. Welcome to the forum, khandi!
