Smoked Fish Chowder

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 1 large onion, finely chopped

  • 3/4 pound red-skinned potatoes, cut into 3/4 -inch chunks

  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions

Melt the butter in a large heavy saucepan. Add the onion and celery and stir over moderately high heat for about 5 minutes. Add the potatoes and thyme and cook until just heated through, about 1 minute. Add the clam juice and 11/2 cups of hot water and bring to a boil.
