Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large onion , chopped
  • 2 large cloves garlic , finely chopped
  • 1 Tbsp oil
  • 2 fairly large potatoes , diced
  • 1 large carrot , chopped
  • 2 cups pumpkin , cubed
  • 1 cup celery , sliced
  • 2 cups hot water
  • 2 tsp instant stock powder (fish, chicken or vegetable) OR 1-2 tsp curry powder
  • 1 can (440g) any light-coloured cream soup (e.g. celery, chicken, mushroom or onion)
  • 1 can (440g) creamed corn
  • 500g raw, skinless, boneless fish fillets
  • Optional: Extra shell-fish (such as prawns, calamari, mussels, etc.)
  • Optional: A handful of frozen peas
  • 1 cup milk
  • ½ cup dried milk powder
  • Salt and pepper to season
  • Chopped parsley or dill to serve

Instructions
 

  • Turn the slow cooker on to HIGH.  Alternatively, use a large saucepan on the stove-top.
  • In a large fry-pan cook the onions gently in oil until transparent. Transfer to the slow cooker or saucepan.
  • Add the chopped potatoes, carrots, pumpkin and celery to the onions and stir to combine.
  • Add the hot water and stock powder (or curry), then stir in the can of soup and the creamed corn. Put on the lid and cook on HIGH for 3-4 hours or until all the vegetables are tender.
  • Cut the fish into bite-sized pieces and stir them into the chowder. If using extra shell-fish or peas, add them in now. Cook on HIGH for another hour.
  • Mix the milk and powdered milk together until smooth, then stir into the soup (I didn’t bother with the powdered milk, as the chowder was thick enough). Leave for 15 minutes longer.
  • Adjust seasonings and serve sprinkled with fresh parsley or dill leaves.
