Chorizo & Fish Chowder
Chorizo and white fish may seem like an odd combination, but one bite and you’ll be convinced.
Remove the casings from the fresh chorizo and sauté until fully cooked. Be sure not to break up the sausage too much, keep the chunks large – as they will break down even more as the soup simmers. Remove the cooked sausage from the pot and set aside while sauteing the onion, celery and carrot, for about 10 minutes.
Add the evaporated milk and bring to a light simmer until veggies are tender and mixture has reduced. The great thing about evaporated milk is that it is less prone to curdling, and can simmer for greater lengths of time. You can use coconut milk but add it near the end and do not bring to a boil or it will curdle.
Just before you are ready to serve the chowder, add in the pieces of white fish (cod, halibut, or any other white fish you like). Gently simmer until fully cooked, about 10 minutes.
