Cod Chowder Newfoundland Style

Submitted by heather in Ont

"I am not a fan of seafood chowders but my family is and I know there are a few of you here as well. You can also use halibut or haddock instead of cod. This recipe is timed to cook just until the seafood is firm without toughening or falling apart. A great Canadian recipe from Canadian Living."

This was really good and easy to make. I had some frozen whitting in the freezer and some frozen shrimp so I gave it a go. The only thing I did differently was to add some frozen cauliflower and use veggie bullion cubes instead of the chicken stock. It was so good. Thank you!
