A great, easy soup with cod, bacon, potatoes, and corn. You can replace the milk with half-and-half or cream and the fish with seafood if you want a richer chowder.

Ingredients

8 slices bacon , diced
1 large onion , diced
1 red bell pepper , seeded and diced
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 cloves garlic , chopped
1.5 tablespoons seafood seasoning , such as Old Bay®
1 can chicken broth , 16 ounce
3 reds potatoes , cut into 1/2-inch cubes
4 earss sweet corn , shucked and kernels cut off
0.5 cups water , Optional
2 cups whole milk , or more as needed
2 tablespoons butter
1 pound thick cod fillets , cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Instructions

1

Cook bacon in a soup pot over medium heat until crisp and brown, about 10 minutes. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon, leaving drippings in the pot.
2

Cook and stir onion and red bell pepper until softened, about 5 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Stir in garlic and seafood seasoning. Cook and stir, 2 more minutes.
3

Pour in chicken broth and stir in potatoes and corn; add water if needed to cover vegetables. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low; simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
4

Stir in milk and butter until butter has melted; mix in reserved bacon. Bring the soup just to the boiling point and stir in cod and parsley; cook, stirring occasionally, until fish flakes easily, 5 to 8 minutes.
