Seafood chowder recipe, French onion soup, Potato soup

Seafood chowder recipes come in many different styles with a variety of ingredients. There is a tomato base or a cream base. There is a clam chowder, fish or salmon chowder, shrimp chowder, etc. and with a variety of flavorings. Personally, I prefer the cream base with either salt pork or bacon to add flavor. Also I prefer a combination of seafood in mine. Below is one of my seafood chowder that can easily be converted from a cream base to a tomato base if you like.

• 3 Strips of bacon, diced


• 1 Medium finely chopped onion


• 1 Cup finely chopped celery


• ½ Pound white fish


• 1 Can shrimp drained


• 1 Can drained minced clams


• 1 Can small oysters


• 1 Cup clam liquid


• 1 Tablespoon butter


• 2 Cups diced raw potatoes


• 1 Cup boiling water


• 2 Cups heavy cream


• Salt/ pepper to taste


• Chopped parsley

In a large heavy pan, brown the bacon. Sauté’ onion and celery until tender. Add water, fish, shrimp, clams, oysters, clam liquid and potatoes. Cook until potatoes are tender; about 15 minutes. Add the cream, butter, salt and pepper. Cook until heated. Garnish with parsley.

To convert this recipe to a tomato base substitute the cream with 2 cups tomato juice. You can also sauté’ ½ cup chopped green pepper with the vegetables. For more flavor add ¼ teaspoon thyme and a dash of cayenne pepper.
