Miso Coconut Corn Chowder with Wild-Caught Seafood

November 4th, 2022

An Umami-Rich Soup for Any Season

This dairy-free corn chowder recipe pairs wild-caught fish with miso paste and coconut milk for an umami-rich meal that transcends the seasons — hearty enough for when you want to tuck into something cozy, but light enough to enjoy even on a warm day. 

You can prepare this seafood chowder using any variety of salmon or mild white fish (Pacific cod, Pacific halibut, or wild Alaska pollock) that you have in your kitchen. One note: If you’d like to make it with salmon, we suggest first removing the skin before cooking. 

For a thicker chowder, part way through the cooking process, you’ll have the option of blending a portion of the soup to add back into the pot. Find instructions below in the recipe.

Ingredients

  • 2 (6-ounce) portions wild-caught seafood, cubed into 1 ½-inch pieces
  • Neutral oil, grapeseed
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 leek washed thoroughly, and thinly sliced
  • 1 celery stalk, diced
  • 1 carrot, diced
  • 2 corns on cob, husked and kernels sliced off the cob (or 2 cups frozen corn)
  • 1 poblano pepper, deseeded and diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 pound (435 g) Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • ¼ cup (93g) white miso
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
  • 3 cups (660 g) vegetable stock
  • 1 thyme sprig
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 scallions, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

1. In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add leek, carrot, celery, and poblano pepper. Season with salt and pepper. Stir occasionally, until vegetables start to become tender, about 8 minutes.

2. Add garlic and corn to pot and cook for about 2 minutes to incorporate flavors.

3. Add miso and cook, stirring and mashing with a wooden spoon until incorporated and caramelized, about 2-3 minutes.

4. Add potatoes, thyme sprig, and stock. Stir to incorporate. Add cayenne and reduce heat to medium low. Cook until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.

5. Add coconut milk and bring everything to a gentle simmer. Optional: for a thicker chowder, blend 1 cup of it and add back into the pot.

6. Season the fish with salt and add to the pot. Gently poach until just cooked through and flaky, about 5 minutes.

7. Season the chowder with salt and pepper. Discard thyme sprig. Enjoy while warm, garnishing with scallion greens. Serve with crusty bread.
