Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 2 carrots, diced
• 2 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 4 cups seafood or fish stock
• 1.5 cups heavy cream
• 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 0.5 pound scallops
• 1 cup clams, drained (or fresh clams)
• 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 bay leaf
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted.

Step 2

Add the diced onion, celery, and carrots. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened but not browned.

Step 3

Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for another 2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 5

Slowly pour in the seafood or fish stock while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 6

Add the diced potatoes, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, ensuring the soup does not boil after adding the cream.

Step 8

Add the shrimp, scallops, clams, and corn kernels. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the seafood is cooked through and opaque.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 10

Remove the bay leaf before serving.

Step 11

Ladle the chowder into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and enjoy!
