Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound pike fillets, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 cup chopped yellow onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups cubed Yukon Gold potatoes (about 2 medium)
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
- Add pike pieces and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until lightly browned. Remove pike from the pot and set aside.
- Add chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
- Pour in chicken broth and add cubed potatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in milk and heavy cream.
- Return the cooked pike to the pot. Heat gently until the chowder is warmed through, but do not boil.
- Stir in fresh parsley.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
- For a thicker chowder, you can mash some of the potatoes against the side of the pot.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like corn or celery with the onions.
- Ensure the pike is cooked through but not overcooked, as it can become dry.
