Cozy Cod Chowder

A creamy, hearty cod chowder loaded with tender potatoes, sweet corn, crisp bacon, and flaky wild-caught cod simmered in a rich, buttery broth. Perfect with a slice of sourdough garlic bread!

  • 3 Medium potatoes (chopped)
  • 5 Bacon slices (chopped)
  • 1 Large onion (chopped)
  • 1 cup Celery (chopped)
  • 1 cup Carrots (chopped)
  • 2 TBS Flour or cornstarch
  • 1 tsp Dried oregano
  • 1 tsp Dried thyme
  • 1 Bay leaf
  • 1 TBS Black pepper
  • Salt to taste
  • 1/2 cup Half & half or heavy cream
  • Chicken broth (enough to cover contents in pot)

Method
 

  1. Heat large pot over medium heat. Cook bacon.
  2. Add onions & celery, sauté for 2-3 minutes. Add black pepper, oregano & thyme. Mix well to combine and cook for another minute.
  3. Add chopped potatoes, carrots & bay leaf. Cover with broth. Stir to combine, cover & bring pot to a boil.

Notes

We often use this exact recipe to make a delicious salmon or pike chowder. We like to serve our chowder with garlic bread on the side. Crackers are great too! This chowder makes delicious leftovers. 🙂
