A hearty creamy chowder with tender chunks of fish and crispy bacon in every bite.
Serves:
Ingredients
- 4 slices of bacon, diced
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups water

In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the diced bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Stir in the heavy cream and chopped parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
