I have an important question for you today. What is the deal with cable? I mean seriously why does it cost so much? I got an email from my provider last week saying they're switching to digital as of June and any TV connected to a wall will need a digital box. Oh yeah, and there's a monthly fee per box.
I have four TV's upstairs so when you do the math that's an another $20 a month! I only watch Bravo, E!, Fox and Food Network. Why can't I just pick the channels I want and pay by channel? Sorry for the rant, but cable is just as much out of control as health insurance.
So...this is where I need your help. I'm either going to switch to satellite for two years (they have an awesome deal right now) then switch to Netflix and Hulu because I have apple TV.
What are the pros and cons of either? I would love to hear what you think in the comments!
All this rambling does lead into this amazing Manhattan Cod Chowder recipe. Promise!
You see whether I'm making a recipe, writing a blog post, shooting food or doing homework I have to have music playing. Somehow the beat helps me focus. When I was younger, I was the same way. I could never get anything done without music.
While I was shooting this Manhattan Cod Chowder recipe, I realized if I get rid of cable I'll also be saying good-bye to the music channels that fuel my creativity and now that FREE Apple music has been eliminated the only free music I'll be left with is whatever's on my iTunes. Is anything free anymore?
Oh yeah, this Manhattan Cod Chowder is totally free! Made simple, everyday, healthy ingredients you won't believe how EASY and delicious this one is.
I used Sizzlefish cod. Did you know they deliver it fresh, right to your door? I like knowing I'm getting quality fish and don't have to worry about getting funky fish from the grocery store.
I'm eagerly waiting for my delivery this week so I can make another batch of this deliciousness!
This Manhattan Cod Chowder is light enough for warm weather, yet hearty enough to stick to your ribs. An exquisite Spring soup and guaranteed crowd pleaser! Enjoy your bowl of FREE hearty goodness!

What I Used For The Recipe
Hi Megan! I see the amount of servings and the calories per serving, but I don’t see the serving SIZE anywhere. Could you share that with us please?
Hi Mariana, there's 5 servings in the recipe so 1/5th of the recipe equals one serving. I divide into 5 bowls and try to equally eyeball it.
I was leary about this recipe because...cod and soup?! however! I was completely pleasantly surprised! I even used frozen cod that i thawed out. The flavors were spot on and this fulfilled my Whole30 so I am one happy camper!!
Yes! This is such a good recipe. I'm glad you liked it and thank you for telling me too!
This looks absolutely delicious and reminds me of a Scottish haddock soup recipe that I've in my list to make healthier (because that original recipe is cream based too). I'm such a huge fan of tomato based soups / chowders too. Love the combination of flavours that my mouth can taste just be looking at your photographs! 🙂
Oh, thank you Neil! I will be on the lookout for that haddock soup.
This soup looks amazing!! I have been looking for recipes to incorporate fish. I feel like I need to take advantage of the local fish shops near my house since we live in Seattle now.
The fish in Seattle is so fresh and delicious. I'm jealous!
This looks so delicious Megan! Such a simple and flavorful use of our cod!! Thank you for this tasty dish!!
You're welcome! So glad to hear you liked it.
O soo good! I love Cod! I've never made any type of fish soup/stew/chowder though! :O
Seriously? Girl, it's so easy!
I have to listen to chill music when I work. So i totally get this. haha. ANd YUM! I need to try my own cod chowder. GENIUS
Another thing we have in common besides fish and gluten!
My husband and I canceled our cable about a year ago. We watch netflix and also have sling tv which is $20/month. I just watch bravo shows online. 🙂
I haven't heard of sling tv. I'll have to look into that.
This looks so healthy and filling -- delicious! And I totally agree with you on the cable expense. In fact, we cancelled our cable about 6 months ago because we just couldn't justify the cost -- we didn't watch it enough. You know what? We haven't missed it one bit! We get local channels for news/pbs/etc...but that's it! More reading! 🙂
Good for you! I can't imagine how hard of a decision that was especially with little one.
This would be a fantastic Spring soup! And I agree - the cost of cable is ridiculous. My boyfriend just doesn't have it. He has Netflix and Hulu and seems to get by just fine. I just miss the ability to watch Lifetime at his house 🙁 But he does get ABC through the antenna, so I still get to watch the Bachelor 🙂
A lot of people I've talked to seem to be doing that. It must be working!
Ugh, we are not happy about what we are going to be paying for cable in our new place--about $100 MORE than we are currently paying because we also need internet. That is the issue with not being in a high rise! But seriously. You can get a lot of shows with hulu + Netflix, for sure.
Now, this soup. Manhattan clam chowder is one of my favorites, I love fish, I'm adding this to the list!
Welcome to my world! I think I'm paying close to $200/month and it's just me. Crazy!
