Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Soak the Salt Cod in cold water for 24-48 hours, changing the water several times to remove excess salt.
Drain the Salt Cod and poach in simmering water for 10-15 minutes. Flake the cod and set aside.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the Butter over medium heat. Add the Onion, Celery, and Carrot from the Vegetables group and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the Potatoes from the Vegetables group and the Chicken Broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Stir in the Milk, Heavy Cream, and Bay Leaf from the Dairy & Liquid group. Heat through, but do not boil.
Add the flaked Salt Cod and Thyme from the Seasoning group. Season with Salt and Black Pepper to taste.
Simmer for another 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Remove the Bay Leaf before serving.
