Healthy Cod & Corn Chowder

We love a cozy evening this time of year! Especially when there is a pot of our Healthy Cod & Corn Chowder on the stove! It’s a stick-to-your-ribs dinner favorite – a seafood soup filled with heart-healthy cod in the starring role; supported by a combination of rich spices like turmeric and red pepper flakes, plus corn and potatoes. Plus, the nutrient-rich white fish creates a thick broth full of essential vitamins and minerals that don’t skimp on flavor.

We chose cod for this chowder because of its mild flavor and flaky bite. Plus, this soup helps you meet the Dietary Guidelines for America recommendations to eat seafood at least twice a week.

Cod is a lean protein—in fact, a 3 oz. portion provides less than 100 calories and more than 18 grams of protein. Additionally, cod is loaded with B vitamins, like vitamin B12 which helps to keep nerve and red blood cells healthy and protect against anemia. From enticing your taste buds to boosting heart health, cod is a great choice anytime so keep some filets in your freezer.

This seafood soup promises to be a family hit – plus it comes together in under an hour. If you have any leftovers, we can attest that it makes a delicious lunch (so you may want to double the recipe)!
