I made this last week and used trout. It turned out alot better than I had expected.
•2 slices bacon, chopped into small pieces
•1 tsp. oil
•1 stalk celery
•1 leek or small onion thinly sliced
•4 cups chicken broth
•3-4 gold potatoes
•2 cups corn (4 ears fresh or frozen)
•1 1/2 pounds white flakey fish
•1 tsp thyme, fresh is best
•1 cup half & half (crema media is a good substitute in Central America)
•2 tsp. lemon juice
•Chopped chives or scallions to top
•Salt & pepper to taste (about 1/2 tsp. recommended)
Cook bacon in large Dutch oven over medium heat until crispy. Drain bacon on paper towels for use later, but leave a little bacon grease in the pan. Add oil, celery, leek, salt and pepper and cook until veggies begin to soften. Add broth, potatoes and corn. Bring to a gentle simmer. Cook until potatoes are just tender and corn is cooked through (about 8 minutes). Stir in fish and thyme and return to gentle simmer. Cook until fish is cooked through (about 4 minutes) then remove from heat.
Stir in half and half & lemon juice and the reserved bacon. Garnish with chives.
