Creamy Fish Chowder

Creamy Fish Chowder

The first time I made fish chowder at home, I fell in love with it. 🧔

On a cold winter day, nothing warms up your tummy than a hot bowl of soup. I have lots of recipes for vegetable soups, but this was the first time I made fish soup. It was sooo good! You can use any choice of fish. Most common options are salmon and other white fish, clams, and a little bit of smoked salmon. 

It takes just over half an hour to make this soup. With the salmon, smoked salmon and clams, the soup was bursting with flavours. Best served with two slices of bread.

p.s. My soup has this orange colour because I couldn’t find bacon at home, so using chorizo instead. If you want yours to look like mine, use chorizo šŸ™‚
