📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Heat the butter and olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

2. Add the chopped onion, celery, and carrot to the pot. Sauté for 5-6 minutes or until softened.

3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

4. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir constantly for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.

5. Gradually pour in the fish stock while stirring to prevent lumps from forming. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

6. Add the diced potatoes, bay leaf, salt, and ground black pepper. Cover and simmer for 10-12 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.

7. Gently stir in the fish chunks and cook for 5-7 minutes or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily.

8. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Let it warm through for a minute, but do not let it boil.

9. Remove the bay leaf and adjust seasoning if necessary.

10. Ladle the chowder into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve with crusty bread, if desired.
