Preparation

  1. Combine the chicken broth, garlic, pepper flakes and ginger in a large pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 45 minutes. Strain, wash the pot and return the broth to it. Bring to a boil. Add the potatoes and lima beans and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the corn and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes longer.
  2. Stir in the lemon and lime zests and coconut milk. Turn the heat to low and add the fish. Cook 5 minutes. Stir in the salt, pepper, scallions and herbs. Immediately ladle into bowls and serve.
  • Reduced-fat coconut milk gives this chowder a slight gray color. For a white chowder and a thicker consistency, use regular unsweetened coconut milk.
