Ingredients
  

  • 15 g butter
  • 300 g sweet potato peeled and cut into 1.5 cm cubes
  • 200 g leeks washed and sliced
  • 400 ml boiling water
  • 300 ml whole milk
  • 2 teaspoon cornflour
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 pinch ground nutmeg
  • 200 g white fish cut into 2 cm cubes, see notes above
  • 200 g salmon cut into 2 cm cubes
  • 200 g sweetcorn kernels canned or frozen

Instructions
 

  • Heat the butter in a large pan and add the leeks and sweet potato. Saute for a few minutes until slightly browned.
  • Measure and add the boiling water. Cover the pan and simmer the vegetables for 10 minutes.
  • Stir the cornflour into the cold milk and add to the pan along with the seasoning. Bring back to the boil and add the cubed fish and simmer for a further 6-7 minutes until the fish is cooked through.
  • Add the sweetcorn and gently mix in.

Notes

  • If you want to add bacon, cut into small pieces and fry with the leeks
  • Prawns can also be added if liked - add a large handful just after you've added the fish. They'll only take a few minutes to cook and can be cooked from frozen
  • For a dairy free fish chowder, use either coconut or almond milk and fry the vegetables in olive oil
