Creamy Halibut Chowder

If you ask me, halibut chowder is one of those perfect comfort foods that never gets old.

This creamy, New England-style soup brings together tender chunks of fresh halibut with classic chowder ingredients like potatoes, corn, and smoky bacon. The broth is rich without being too heavy, letting the fish shine through.

It’s made the traditional way – starting with a base of sautéed onions and celery, then building layers of flavor with fresh herbs and just the right amount of cream. Oyster crackers or crusty bread on the side make it complete.

It’s a cozy bowl that works year-round, but there’s something extra special about serving it on a cool evening when you need a bit of warmth.

Ingredients

For the chowder base:

• 2 large potatoes, diced (peeled and diced into 1/2-inch pieces)
• 2 carrots, chopped
• 2 tbsp butter (I use Kerrygold unsalted butter)
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 2 ribs chopped celery
• 2 cloves minced garlic (freshly minced for best flavor)

For the halibut:

• 1 lb halibut (cut into 1-inch bite-sized pieces)

For finishing and seasoning:

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper (freshly ground preferred)
• 2 tbsp fresh herbs, for garnish (optional, like chives or parsley)

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

Begin by gathering all the ingredients needed for the halibut chowder.

This will ensure that everything is on hand and will help the cooking process go smoothly.

Cut the halibut into bite-sized pieces and set them aside for later use.

Step 2: Sauté the Aromatics

In a large pot, melt a suitable amount of butter over medium heat.

Add chopped onions, celery, and carrots to the pot and sauté until they are softened, releasing their flavors.

This should take about 5 to 7 minutes.

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

Step 3: Simmer the Broth and Potatoes

Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Once simmering, add diced potatoes to the pot and cook until they are tender.

This will help to thicken the chowder base and blend flavors.

Step 4: Cook the Halibut

Once the potatoes are tender, stir in the halibut pieces.

Cook the fish until it is opaque and cooked through, typically taking around 4 to 5 minutes, depending on the size of the halibut pieces.

Step 5: Add Cream and Season

Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine, allowing the chowder to heat through.

Taste the chowder and season with salt, pepper, and any additional herbs or spices to taste.

This is the time to adjust seasoning to your preference.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Serve the halibut chowder hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.

This will add a touch of color and extra flavor.

Enjoy your comforting and delicious homemade chowder!
