Cathy's Incredible Cod Chowder
  1. 1

    In a large stockpot over medium-high heat, cook the bacon, turning now and then, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain; crumble and set aside. Pour off the bacon grease, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pot.

  2. 2

    Add the onion to the reserved bacon grease and cook, stirring, over medium heat until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the potatoes and add just enough water to cover them in the pot. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are nearly tender, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the fish, evaporated milk, whole milk, and butter; bring to a boil. Lower the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Ladle the chowder into bowls and sprinkle with the crumbled bacon.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
