Description
A delicious and creamy seafood chowder featuring a variety of fresh seafood, rich flavors, and hearty ingredients, ideal for cozy meals.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 1 cup Whole Milk
- 1 pound White Fish (Haddock, Cod, or Halibut)
- 2 medium Potatoes
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 medium Onion
- 1 pound Shrimp
- 1 pound Scallops
- 1 pound Mussels
- 1 cup White Wine (optional)
- 4 cups Seafood Stock
- 2 sprigs Aromatic Herbs (Thyme, Bay Leaf)
Instructions
- In a large pot over medium heat, melt a tablespoon of butter, then add diced onions and minced garlic. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes until the onions are translucent and fragrant.
- Stir in the chopped potatoes, cooking for approximately 5-7 minutes until they start to soften.
- Pour in the seafood stock, raising the heat to bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook uncovered for about 10-12 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Lower the heat and add the heavy cream and whole milk. Stir gently until smooth and heated through.
- Carefully add the white fish, shrimp, scallops, and mussels. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the seafood is fully cooked.
- Stir in fresh thyme and a bay leaf, along with salt and pepper to taste. Heat through for 2-3 more minutes.
Notes
- For a lighter chowder, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half.
- Use fresh seafood for the best flavor, but frozen can be a good alternative.
- Adjust seasoning according to taste before serving.
