Ingredients

• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) unsalted butter
• 1 Large onion, minced
• 2 Large potatoes, peeled
• 2 Cloves garlic, minced
• 6 Cups chicken stock
• 1 8 Ounces (oz) can stewed tomatoes, diced
• 2 Large carrots, shredded
• 1.5 Cups milk
• 0.5 Cups heavy cream
• 1 Pinch salt, to taste
• 1 Pinch ground black pepper, to taste
• 2 Pounds halibut, divided
• 0.5 Cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 Pinch red pepper flakes, to taste
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) fresh parsley, torn (optional for garnish)
• 2 Green onions, sliced (optional for garnish)

Steps

1. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the peeled potatoes and minced garlic to the pot. Cook for an additional 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes begin to soften.
3. Pour in the chicken stock, diced stewed tomatoes, and shredded carrots. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
4. Stir in the milk and heavy cream. Season the chowder with salt and ground black pepper to taste.
5. Gently add the divided halibut to the pot. Simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes, or until the halibut is flaky and no longer translucent in the center.
6. Gradually stir in the shredded Cheddar cheese and red pepper flakes until the cheese is fully melted and incorporated into the chowder.
7. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. For an extra touch of freshness, garnish with torn parsley and sliced green onions before serving.
8. Serve the chowder hot, accompanied by crusty bread or oyster crackers for a complete meal. Enjoy the comforting flavors of this Alaskan-inspired dish!
