FISH CHOWDER SOUP

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat.
• Add garlic and onion, cook for 5 minutes until translucent but not golden.
• Add carrots and stir through.
• Turn heat up to high and add wine. Stir then let it simmer rapidly until it's mostly evaporated.
• Add flour and stir for 30 seconds - it will become sludgy!
• Slow pour in broth while stirring to dissolve paste, then stir in milk.
• Add potato, corn, salt and pepper. Bring to simmer then turn heat down so it's simmering gently.
• Cook, stirring every now and then, for 8 minutes or until potato is almost cooked.
• Add fish and peas, simmer for 3 minutes or until fish is just cooked (should flake easily).
• Adjust salt and pepper to taste. If soup is too thick, add a touch of water or milk.
• Serve, garnished with green onions and crusty bread on the side for dunking!
