Coconut Curry Chowder

This image courtesy of Joseph DeLeo

I love chowder (or chowda as it’s called on Cape Caad) and I love curry, so when I discovered this soup, it became one of my favorites. As an added bonus, it’s easy to make, and since it’s almost like a stew, it can feed a hungry crowd. I typically use tuna or halibut, but any solid white fish will do.

NotesImportant tips:

• Keep the heat low or the coconut milk will separate.

• Salt helps bring out the flavor of this chowder. The 1 tablespoon in the ingredient list is a starting point. Before serving, taste the soup and add more salt (½ teaspoon at a time) until it goes from bland to sweet.

It sounds delicious, my only problem is the length of time cooking the fish..........I can't believe that it won't be totally destroyed in 2 hours.

Even with a variety of additional vegetables & no fish, this was phenomenal ... yum! I needed a curry recepie to sooth my ills and this was easy to pull together from what we had on hand! The house smell wonderful and I actually feel like eating!
