Seafood Chowder

Serves 8

Ingredients:

• 60g butter

• 1 leek, washed and diced

• 2 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped

• 100ml lemon juice

• 500ml fish stock or water

• 500g Barker’s Professional Cream Style Meal Base

• 2 large potatoes, peeled and 1cm dice

• 1kg diced fish and seafood

• 150g peas

• handful of parsley, chopped

• handful of tarragon, chopped

Method:

1. Heat the butter over a low heat in a large saucepan. Add the leek and garlic, stirring occasionally until tender.

2. Add the lemon juice and reduce by half.

3. Add the stock and Barker’s Professional Cream Style Meal Base and bring to a simmer. Add the diced potato and cook until just tender.

4. Add the diced fish and seafood and peas. Simmer until the seafood is just cooked.

5. Add the herbs and stir through.

6. Sprinkle over some roughly chopped tarragon to garnish.

HANDY HINTS:

Dilute the Barker’s Professional Cream Style Meal Base to create a pouring cream and spoon a swirl on top of the portion of soup as a garnish.

Swap out the lemon juice for white wine for the deglazing process.

Pre-cook the potatoes to reduce cooking time.
