Leeky-Fish Chowder

Submitted by Queen Butter-Bean

"This is my fish chowder with leeks and corn. This recipe is kosher and is a dairy meal, so I used a vegetarian chicken-flavored stock. (The brand is Imagine "no-chicken" stock and can be found in the health food section of the grocery store). This is a great heavy chowder for cold rainy days. The ingredients are inexpensive and the whole thing is prepared in one pot, so there is very little cleanup! Enjoy!"

My husbands favorite chowder. Making chili for me. I do not do seafood. He loves it. The base is delicious on its own Put the fish in another story. My Norm loves it.

Very good chowder! I used mahi mahi and did use the optional thickener. I garnished the soup with some crumbled bacon and chopped parsley just before serving. Thanks for sharing!

This was delicious. It was made with cod fillets and thickened with arrowroot starch. A quick and inexpensive meal for a windy dessert night. Made for *PAC Spring 2008*
