Description

Barramundi Corn Chowder is a creamy seafood soup made with flaky barramundi, sweet corn, tender cauliflower, herbs, and a rich yet balanced broth. This chowder delivers comfort without heaviness, using simple ingredients and clean flavors that highlight the natural sweetness of the fish and vegetables. It is approachable for home cooks and versatile enough for weeknight meals or relaxed gatherings.


Ingredients

Beef bacon such as Wellshire Farms Beef Bacon or Applegate Naturals Beef Bacon, chopped

Yellow onion, diced

Garlic cloves, minced

Salt

Black pepper

All purpose flour

Vegetable stock

Fresh rosemary or dried rosemary

Barramundi fillet, fully thawed

Corn kernels, fresh or frozen

Cauliflower florets, chopped

Heavy cream

Fresh parsley for garnish


Instructions

Heat a large soup pot over medium high heat and cook the beef bacon until crisp then remove and reserve while leaving some rendered fat in the pot

Lower the heat and add the diced onion and minced garlic, stirring frequently until softened and fragrant

Season lightly with salt and pepper, then sprinkle in the flour and stir until fully absorbed and lightly cooked

Gradually pour in the vegetable stock while stirring constantly to create a smooth and slightly thickened base

Add the chopped rosemary and allow the soup to gently simmer until the flavors meld and the broth thickens

Place the barramundi fillet into the pot and cook gently until the fish turns opaque and flakes easily

Break the fish into chunks and stir in the corn, cauliflower, and heavy cream until well combined

Allow the chowder to warm through at a low simmer, then taste and adjust seasoning as needed

Serve hot topped with the crispy beef bacon and fresh parsley if desired

Notes

This chowder is flexible and can be adjusted with additional vegetables like spinach, kale, or potatoes

If the soup becomes too thick, add extra vegetable stock or cream to loosen it

For a lighter version, substitute half and half or almond milk for the cream

Keep the heat gentle after adding the fish to maintain a tender texture

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat slowly on the stovetop
