Charleys Chowder Recipes

CODFISH CHOWDER

Steps:

• Cook bacon in a soup pot over medium heat until crisp and brown, about 10 minutes. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon, leaving drippings in the pot. Cook and stir onion and red bell pepper until softened, about 5 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Stir in garlic and seafood seasoning and cook and stir 2 more minutes.
• Pour in chicken broth and stir in potatoes and corn; add water if needed to cover vegetables. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low; simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in milk and butter until butter has melted; mix in reserved bacon. Bring the soup just to the boiling point and stir in cod and parsley; cook, stirring occasionally, until fish flakes easily, 5 to 8 minutes.

Steps:

• Bring bottled clam juice and potatoes to boil in heavy large saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Melt butter in heavy large pot over medium heat. Add bacon and cook until bacon begins to brown, about 8 minutes.

Steps:

• 1. Place olive oil in large pot, heat on stove until very hot 2. Drop the smashed garlic cloves into the hot oil Note: Cook the cloves of garlic until golden in color.

Add the basil, oregano and thyme and cook for another minute 5. Add the celery and cook until translucent in color 6. Add the finely chopped tomatoes and cook for about 45 minutes or until oil appears above tomatoes 7. Add water, fish, clam base and cook for 1/2 hour uncovered at full heat.
