Chef's Tips

For a smoother chowder, you can blend a portion of the soup with an immersion blender before adding the haddock and cream.

Adjust the amount of milk and cream to your desired consistency.

If you can't find Jersey Royals, use another waxy potato like Yukon Gold.

For a spicier chowder, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce.

To thicken the chowder, you can mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with two tablespoons of cold water to create a slurry, and stir it in during the last couple of minutes of cooking.
