Perch Chowder Recipe

In order to cook some Perch chowder the first thing you’ve got to catch some perch.

Then it all starts with an 8 quart stock pan on high heat. Add enough oil prevent any sticking at the bottom of the pan and then add 1 diced sweet onion.

Add diced carrots and diced celery and cook until the onion becomes translucent.

Once the onion is translucent add in garlic and sauté it for a few minutes until the garlic is cooked. Stir occasionally to prevent any of the vegetables from burning.

Next add in sweet potatoes and red bliss potatoes and sauté them for a minute.

Now it is time to add one can of tomato soup as well as one jar of spaghetti sauce and stir it around mixing in all the vegetables. While that is cooking add shredded carrots, 1 can of kidney beans, 1 can of black beans and green beans that have been diced into one inch long pieces.

Add diced tomatoes and about a cup of water and mix the chowder throughly.

Now that you have all the vegetables in it is time to add the spices. First add Franks Red Hot. If you like spicer food add more, if you don’t, add less this is personal preference. Next add celery salt, paprika and cayenne pepper.

Once that has all been added bring it to a boil and then reduce the heat and let the perch chowder simmer for about and hour and a half. Make sure to stir occasionally.

While that is simmering, cube your perch into bite sized pieces and then add to the chowder and let it cook for another 20 minutes.

Finally add a cup of almond milk, cooked wild rice, parmesan cheese and salt and pepper. Stir it for 5 minutes until it incorporates into a nice mix. Once that is done the Perch Chowder is ready to go.

Enjoy your great tasting Perch Chowder!
