Despite the impending heat, we’ve had a spell of rather gloomy and rainy days here in O’ahu. Lot’s of clouds, some days I look out my window to see a wall of white and grey. The majestic mountains were hidden in a haze. When I bought nearly two pounds of this beautiful, wild caught, true cod at Whole Foods I had plans of grilling it. Maybe even making fish and chips with cassava flour dusted chunks of this white flaky fish. Alas, the inspiration came in the form of seafood chowder, a rather summery chowder, but still a warm, creamy and healing soup. Perfect for rainy, summer days.
This Dairy Free Creamy Cod Chowder is chock full of veggies and has no weird fillers, flours or starches!
