Corn chowder is a lovely thick and creamy soup, similar to New England clam chowder, another North American favourite, but with corn instead of clams, which, like a hearty stew, is a great way of warming up your family on a cold winter’s day. The word, incidentally, is a corruption of chaudière, a type of French pot in which the first chowders were cooked, on the eastern seaboards of Canada and the United States.

Method
- Heat the oil in a large heavy base pan and fry the onion with the chilli (use as much or as little chilli as you like) until softened (about 5 mins).
- Add the potato and sweetcorn and mix well, then add the milk and fish stock, stir gently and bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer for 10 mins, or until the vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally. Season to taste with salt.
- Meanwhile, in a non-stick frying pan, heat the oil, add the cubes of fish and fry, turning carefully until the fish is cooked.
- Stir the cooked fish into the potato and sweetcorn mixture, mix gently, and simmer for another minute or so, then spoon into warm bowls and garnish with parsley.
