A great, easy soup with cod, bacon, potatoes, and corn. You can replace the milk with half-and-half or cream and the fish with seafood if you want a richer chowder.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 8 slices bacon, diced

  • 1 large onion, diced

  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped

  • 1 ½ tablespoons seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)

  • 1 (16 ounce) can chicken broth

  • 3 red potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

  • 4 ears sweet corn, shucked and kernels cut off

  • ½ cup water, or as needed to cover (Optional)

  • 2 cups whole milk, or more as needed

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 1 pound thick cod fillets, cut into 1-inch pieces

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Directions

  1. Cook bacon in a soup pot over medium heat until crisp and brown, about 10 minutes. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon, leaving drippings in the pot.

  2. Cook and stir onion and red bell pepper until softened, about 5 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Stir in garlic and seafood seasoning. Cook and stir, 2 more minutes.

  3. Pour in chicken broth and stir in potatoes and corn; add water if needed to cover vegetables. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low; simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.

  4. Stir in milk and butter until butter has melted; mix in reserved bacon. Bring the soup just to the boiling point and stir in cod and parsley; cook, stirring occasionally, until fish flakes easily, 5 to 8 minutes.
