Many people often underestimate North American cuisine, mistakenly believing that it is nothing but fast food. Chowder is a good refutation of this opinion. He is so loved by everyone that there is even an animated series with the same name.
It is necessary
- - young potatoes of medium size - 4 pieces;
- - hot smoked cod fillet - 400 grams;
- - white onion - 1 onion;
- - small celery root - half;
- - fat milk - half a liter;
- - butter - 60 grams;
- - wheat flour - 15 grams;
- - salt, pepper or other favorite spices - according to preference.
Instructions
Step 1
All vegetables: potatoes, onions and celery, must be thoroughly washed, peeled and cut into small cubes. A food processor works best for this. Next, in a saucepan, you need to boil half a liter of water and transfer the prepared vegetables to boiling water. Salt them a little and cook for about 10 minutes.
Step 2
Pour milk into a saucepan and heat it, but do not bring to a boil. In a thick-walled frying pan or saucepan, melt the butter and spasse the flour on it, stir. Add hot milk in a thin stream, stirring constantly until smooth. Reduce heat and simmer for no more than 3 minutes.
Step 3
Semi-prepared vegetables must be caught from the pan with a slotted spoon into a separate container. Save the vegetable broth. Mash them a little with a fork or crush and add to the milk mixture. Stir and simmer for about 3 minutes.
Step 4
Cut the cod fillet into portioned pieces, make sure that there are no bones. Transfer it to vegetables and cook for 5 minutes. Since the fish is already salty, the chowder should be seasoned at the time of serving and to taste. If it seems too thick to someone, it is necessary to dilute the soup with vegetable broth.
