Ingredients
Scale
- 0.5 lb shrimp
- 0.5 lb white fish (cod or haddock)
- 0.5 lb scallops
- 4 slices bacon
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 small onion
- 2 stalks celery
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tsp thyme
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups potatoes
- 3 cups seafood stock or chicken stock
- 1 cup corn
- 1.5 cups heavy cream
- Salt & pepper
- Fresh parsley
Instructions
- Cook the bacon in a large pot over medium heat until crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels, keeping the fat in the pot.
- Add butter to the bacon fat. Once melted, add diced onion and celery, sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in minced garlic and thyme, cooking for an additional minute.
- Sprinkle flour over the mixture, stirring to combine. Gradually pour in seafood stock while whisking to avoid lumps. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Stir in diced potatoes and corn. Season with salt and pepper, simmer for about 10 minutes until potatoes are tender.
- Gently add shrimp, scallops, and white fish. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the seafood is opaque.
- Reduce the heat to low, pour in heavy cream, and stir. Warm through for 3-5 minutes. Adjust seasoning as necessary.
- Ladle the chowder into bowls, crumble bacon on top, and garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
Pairs beautifully with crusty bread or a simple green salad. For extra flavor, serve with chilled white wine.
