Fish Chowder with Fennel and Corn
(Serves 2-3)
Ingredients:
2 strips of bacon, diced
1/2 small onion, diced
1/2 small fennel bulb, diced
1 stalk celery, diced
1 ear of corn kernels
1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
1 tablespoon flour
2 cups fish stock
6-8 ounces potatoes, diced
1/2 cup heavy cream
12 -16 ounces of cod fillets, cut into 1-inch pieces
Couple dashes of Tabasco or to taste
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper
1 tablespoon chopped celery leaves
Directions:
Cook bacon in wide shallow saucepan over medium heat.
Allow to brown and crisp and transfer to a small bowl.
Cover and set aside.
Add the onion, fennel, celery, corn, thyme and white pepper to the saucepan.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften, 3-5 minutes.
Stir in the flour and cook 1-2 minutes.
Add the fish stock and bring to a simmer.
Add the potatoes and cook, uncovered, until thickened, about 20 minutes.
Soup can be set aside at this point until ready to serve.
Stir in the cream and return to a simmer. Add the fish, partially cover, and cook until the fish is just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Stir in the Tabasco, Worcestershire, and season with salt and pepper.
Serve the soup topped with the chopped celery leaves and reserved bacon.
