Print Recipe

Ingredients

  • 4 oz center cut bacon
  • 2 cups thinly sliced leeks, washed*
  • 1 cup celery (with leaves) diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Fresh cracked pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves or 3 teaspoons fresh chopped
  • 1 large or 2 small bay leaves
  • 2-15 oz cans seafood stock (found in soup aisle)
  • 1-13.5 oz can Andre Prost Coconut Milk (found in the baking section)
  • 4 cups (about 2 lbs) red potatoes, skins washed, not peeled and cut into 1/2 inch dice
  • 1 lb fresh cod, cut into bite size pieces
  • 3 large ears corn, grilled until lightly charred and kernels cut off cob
  • 1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley or minced chives

This appetizing chowder just screams ‘summer’! Grilled corn and bacon mixed with Andre Prost Coconut Milk make a creamy and smoky flavored chowder that can’t be beat. It’s a great dairy-free alternative to heavy cream laden chowders and it’s even better the next day! Grill extra corn to have on hand, just for this wonderful entrée.
