Seafood chowder

Posted in Fish, Soups at 9:03 pm by Sheila OConnell

2 cans chicken broth

1 med onion, chopped

2-3 med potatoes (diced)

1/3 lb scallops

3/4 lb white fish (cod, haddock, etc)

1/3 lb cooked shrimp

1/2 lb crab (I like the imitation)

1 small lobster (optional)

1 small light cream

Butter, flour

I suggest you skip the lobster

If shrimp needs to be cooked, wash and devein then steam for 2-3 minutes

Rinse fish, scallops, etc

Cook onion and potatoes in broth 10-15 minutes

Add fish and scallops cook 5 minutes.

Add rest of seafood, cook on low or shut off

In separate pan melt 2 tlbs butter and add 1 tbls flour.

Mix well, then add 1 cup cream, cook on low heat till thickened. Add slowly to chowder.

Heat to serve.
