CPT.M’s Salt Fish Chowder  

Ingredients:

1 lb Salt Fish – desalted and diced. (dicing it first will reduce the desalting time!)

4 – 5  Medium WHITE potatoes – peeled and medium diced

1 Tbsp Butter

1 cup chopped leeks

 1 large stick of celery – chopped and finely diced

2 carrots – short peelings or thin sliced

2 Bay leaves

1 tsp summer savory

pepper to taste

¾ cup cream

Directions:

Sauté leeks, celery and carrots in butter in a large pot

Add diced potatoes to pot and put in enough water to just cover them.

Bring to a boil and then simmer until potatoes are almost cooked. (approx 25 minutes)

Add the fish and simmer for 10 minutes.

Add the cream and stir. Simmer on low for 10 – 15 minutes.

Garnish with fresh parsley or a bay leaf!
