Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 (8 ounce) bottles clam juice
  • 2 cups water
  • 4 potatoes, cut into cubes
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 pound cod fillets, cut into chunks
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps

  1. Melt butter in a 5-quart saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir onion, celery, and garlic in melted butter until onion is tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
  2. Stir flour into the saucepan until vegetables are evenly coated. Pour in clam juice and water; whisk until smooth. Add potatoes, bay leaf, and thyme; bring liquid to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
  3. Gently stir cod into the soup. Cover the saucepan and cook until cod is flaky, about 8 minutes.
  4. Stir in milk and simmer until soup is hot, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove bay leaf to serve.
