Ingredients
- 1 yellowfin tuna steak, diced

- 1 cup water
- 1 potato, peeled and diced
- 1/2 onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup celery, diced

Instructions
-
Prepare the Broth Base:
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of chicken broth with 1 cup of water. Add the diced potato to the mixture.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. 🥔

Create the Chowder Base:
- Carefully remove the cooked potatoes from the broth, reserving the liquid. Use a blender or food processor to puree the cooked potatoes with 1/4 cup of the reserved broth until smooth.
- Return the pureed potatoes to the saucepan. Add the diced tuna steak, chopped onion, celery, carrot, frozen corn, dried basil, and dried thyme. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
- Cover the saucepan and heat the mixture until it reaches a simmer, about 8 to 10 minutes. The fish should flake easily when tested with a fork. 🥕🌽

Finish and Serve:
- Stir in the low-fat milk and continue to heat the chowder until it is warmed through. Be careful not to bring it to a boil to prevent the milk from curdling.
- Just before serving, sprinkle the chowder with chopped parsley for a fresh touch. Serve hot and enjoy the comforting flavors of your homemade chowder. 🍲🌿
