JAN'S FRESH CHOWDER - THE
VIRGINIA WAY!
 
1 lb. any fish fillets, cut into sm. chunks
4 med. potatoes, cubed
Top half 1 bunch celery stalks, chopped
1 lg. onion, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
3/4 stick butter
1 1/2 qt. milk
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. rosemary
Seasonings - any or all:
1 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. pepper
1 tsp. seasoning salt
1 tbsp. chicken bouillon
2 bay leaves
2 dashes Tabasco
1 tbsp. seafood seasoning
4 dashes Worcestershire sauce

Use as little water as possible to cook the following; simmer carrots 10 minutes. Add onions, celery and seasonings. I use all these seasonings, but if you don't have all, use what's on hand - good anyway! Simmer until almost tender, about 15 more minutes. Add potatoes, simmer 10 minutes. Add fish. Simmer until fish turns white, about 5-10 minutes. Do Not Overcook fish. Add milk. Cook as slow as possible bringing to a boil. This freezes well.
