Moms Fish Chowder Recipes

MOM'S FISH CHOWDER

Steps:

• Dice the onions into 1/4-inch dice.
• In a large, heavy-bottomed soup pot, melt the butter, then add the diced onions. Cook the onions until they are just translucent.
• Peel and dice the potatoes into about 1/2-inch cubes. Add potatoes and clam juice. Simmer until potatoes are just barely tender.
• About 15 minutes before serving, cut any filleted fish you are using into about 3-inch sections. (It will fall apart after cooking into bite-size pieces. Cutting it up smaller before cooking would yield pieces that are too small in the finished dish. Add fish and simmer about 10 minutes, or until the fish is just cooked through.).
• To prevent breaking up pieces of fish, avoid stirring.
• Add the light cream, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and dill. Heat through, taking care to keep the heat low and prevent the cream from curdling.
