Tasty Haddock Chowder

Haddock is one of my favorite fish and this is my favorite chowder. This dish is wonderful served with a crusty white bread and sweet butter. If you don't drink, the chowder tastes great without the sherry...also. Please feel free to add additional spices/herbs or additional salt and pepper, if desired.

What a wonderful soup to fix today on a cloudy and some what cool day. I did cut the recipe in half used evaporated milk (out of cream) but otherwise followed the recipe. Definately a keeper and one I will make again. Like a previous reviewer said some shrimp and/or some scallops would be a great addition. Going into my Favorites of 2014. Made for the Aussie/NZ recipe swap tag game.

Yummy chowder, Baby Kato!! I have to admit I wasn't in the mood for chowder tonight and was just trying to use up some haddock that I had on hand, until I tried this recipe. I was very, very pleasantly surprised. I ended up LOVING this chowder! The flavor of this chowder is fantastic and the prep is very easy. Modifications included using 2 shallots, 4 cloves of garlic (added when sauteeing the onions and shallots), heavy whipping cream (that's what I had on hand), triple the salt (based on other reviewers' comments), one extra sprig of thyme, dry sherry, and I added a little bit of shrimp since I only had one pound of haddock on hand. I am looking forward to having the leftovers for lunch tomorrow. I will DEFINITELY make this chowder again. Thanks for a great meal. Made for ZWT4.
