Really good with a few adjustments I enjoyed this chowder but I made a few changes: First I used 2 pieces of bacon instead of one. I didn't add the fish while the soup was simmering--I let the potatoes get soft then I used my immersion blender to blend the soup right in the pot. Then I added the fish and cooked it through (I used mahi mahi). I used fat free half and half instead of milk and I added some creole seasoning for more flavor. I added some hot sauce and it was delicious!
This is a great recipe. The only changes I made were (1) I cooked the bacon in the microwave (very crispy and not greasy). (2) Softened the onion celery etc. in one tablespoon of butter. (3) Used Haddock for my choice of fish. I found the cooking time to correct.
Quick but Bland My husband thought the fish had a spongy texture. I thought it was flaky and tender but the chowder was bland. It needed maybe Tabasco or turmeric--and salt. Pros: Quick easy Cons: Bland
Doubled the recipe and prepared this with bacalao for a very hearty snowy-day meal. The thyme made the chowder especially aromatic and the bacon drippings gave it great flavor without being overly greasy. SpainStro Madrid
This recipe takes A LOT longer than the time given. I would say to plan on an hour and half of your total prep and cooking time. The potatoes take a lot longer to get soft because there isn't too much liquid. That said the taste is pretty good though I did want something slightly creamier. Sara Co VT
Really Yummy I pretty much followed the recipe but throw in some dried chilli as the frying stage. I chopped my potatoes up quite small so they cooked faster. I also didn't put my fish in until everything was cooked and blended then I added it and let it cook. I also didn't use any corn starch it was really thick and I really didn't need it. In fact I ended up adding a little extra milk. It tasted great and I will make again for sure but double everything. Pros: Didn't really make enough for 4 people think the recipe needs to be doubled Cons: Very quick and easy.
