3. Cook the Cod: Gently add the cod pieces to the pot and let them cook for about 5 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

4. Finish with Cream and Peas: Stir in the milk or cream and frozen peas. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then let it simmer until the peas are cooked through, about 3 minutes.

5. Serve and Garnish: Ladle the chowder into bowls and sprinkle chopped green onions on top for a fresh finish. Enjoy your warm, cozy bowl of chowder!
