Instructions
 

Roasting Potatoes

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Wash the fingerling potatoes and toss them in olive oil with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Roast the potatoes on a parchment-lined baking sheet for about 30 minutes until they have a nice a color.

Preparation

  • Finely slice the carrot tips and celery. Cut the remaining carrot portions into ½" chunks. Microplane the garlic.
  • Make sure the fish fillets are fully thawed if they were frozen. Cut the fish into large 2" pieces.

Cooking

  • While the potatoes are roasting add the olive oil to a large stock pot and cook the sliced carrot, celery, and bay leaf over medium heat for about 5 minutes until they soften. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
  • Deglaze with the white wine. Continue to cook until the wine is almost completely reduced.
  • Add the stock and diced tomatoes and bring the pot to a boil before reducing to a simmer.
  • Add the herbs de Provence. Season with kosher salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Add the carrots, corn, and fish.
  • Continue to cook until the carrots are soft and the fish is cooked through, maybe 20 minutes. If the chowder is too thick extend it with water or more stock.
  • Add the roasted potatoes.
