Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb. mixed seafood (such as shrimp, scallops, and cod), diced or chopped
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 2 carrots, peeled and diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup half-and-half or heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, celery, and carrots. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and the onions are translucent.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant. Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the vegetables and stir to coat. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux and eliminate any raw flour taste.
- Gradually pour in the broth, whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Add the diced potatoes, thyme, and bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Gently stir in the diced seafood and half-and-half or heavy cream. Simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the seafood is cooked through and the chowder has thickened to your desired consistency.
- Remove the bay leaf. Season the chowder with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Ladle the hearty seafood chowder into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
