Ingredients

  • 2 ounces bacon (about 2 slices)
  • 1 teaspoon canola oil
  • 1 stalk celery, diced
  • 1 leek, white part only, halved lengthwise, rinsed and thinly sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 8 ounces Yukon Gold potatoes, diced
  • 2 cups fresh corn kernels (about 4 ears)
  • 1 1/2 pounds tilapia fillets, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 cup half-and-half
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives (optional)

Directions

Chop bacon and cook in a large Dutch oven over medium heat until crispy, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

Add oil to the pan. Add celery, leek, salt and pepper and cook until the vegetables just begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Add broth, potatoes and corn. Bring to a gentle simmer. Cook until the potatoes are just tender and the corn is cooked through, about 8 minutes. Stir in tilapia and thyme; return to a gentle simmer. Cook until the tilapia is cooked through, about 4 minutes more. Remove from the heat.

Stir in half-and-half, lemon juice and the reserved bacon. Garnish with chives, if using.

    Very tasty and healthy

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    Everyone in the family loved it. Easy to make. Only thing keeping me from posting 5 stars was that it was a little thin or... runny for me. Maybe next time I will add some flour or potatoes to thicken up. Read more

    Very good if you added to it

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    Easy recipe, I added more potatos, corn & fish to make thicker. Also added 2% milk instead of half & half - about 2/3 cup, 1... tablespoon of butter and 1 tbs of flour and used an imersion blender real quick to break up some of the potatos & corn before I put in fish. Oh, I also added bacon when I added potatos to get the taste in earlier. Very good and maybe not as fattening as clam chowder (?)Read more

    Superb

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I've been asked many times to make this recipe since it first debuted at my party. The first time I made it I was afraid... there was too much fish, but it was perfect. The only thing I do different is use canned creamed corn and perhaps add more thyme. I've tried it with fat-free half-and-half (I'm all about low fat... although fat-free half-and-half is an oxymoron) and it was a bit sweeter and thinner, but it worked ok.Read more

    Really Good!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I had read one of the previous ratings where the author indicated that the chowder was a little too light, so I added more... corn, more potatoes, and more fish. I also added 3 table spoons of flour to the recipe, which helped thicken the chowder. Finally, I added more salt and pepper than was originally indicated in the recipe. When I was finished I had a thick fish corn chowder that my husband loved. If I hadn't added the salt and pepper, and flour, the chowder would have been too thin and very bland. Great recipe, but needed a little adjustment. Read more
