In my post from yesterday I told you about my thoughts on the KitchenAid Tri-Ply Stainless Steel 10-Piece Set, and what a joy they were to cook with!  When they arrived at my door I immediately gave the set a good workout cooking up some new recipes like this delicious fish chowder that I have been waiting to share with you!

While making the homemade stock for this chowder I found the measuring lines inside the pots so helpful.  This is my absolute favourite feature!  That and the glass lids, so I could keep an eye on my soup without removing the lid.

This Hearty Fish Chowder recipe is going to be making an appearance around here quite a few times this fall & winter.  This is because earlier in the summer my husband & I went on an ocean fishing trip and we came home with A LOT of Pacific Salmon and Halibut, and the pieces are so large that we end up with dinner leftovers.  And left over cooked fish is PERFECT for chowders!  Really, what better fish than salmon and halibut for a chowder?!  So hearty and scrumptious.

But if you don’t have left over fish in your fridge, you can use fresh fish for this recipe…any kind would work – cod, halibut, salmon, haddock – your choice!  And with just a few more simple ingredients you can have this Hearty Fish Chowder on your table in about an hours time!
