Ingredients

• 1 pound Fresh trout fillets
• 3 medium Russet potatoes
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 2 Celery stalks
• 1 cup Frozen corn kernels
• 4 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons Flour
• 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Smoked paprika

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the vegetables: Peel and dice the potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Finely chop the onion, mince the garlic, and slice the celery.

Step 2

In a small skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and whisk in the flour. Stir constantly for 1-2 minutes to create a roux. Set aside.

Step 3

Lay the trout fillets on a cutting board and check for any remaining bones. Remove the skin, if necessary, and cut the fish into bite-sized chunks.

Step 4

In the crock pot, combine the potatoes, onion, garlic, celery, frozen corn kernels, and broth.

Step 5

Add the trout pieces, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Stir gently to mix the ingredients without breaking up the fish.

Step 6

Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 4 hours, or until the potatoes are tender and the flavors meld together.

Step 7

Once the cooking time is complete, gently stir in the prepared roux, followed by the heavy cream. Let the chowder sit for an additional 10 minutes to thicken.

Step 8

Finely chop the fresh dill and stir it into the chowder just before serving.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.

Step 10

Ladle the chowder into bowls and serve warm. Enjoy with a side of crusty bread or crackers for a perfect meal.
