There’s nothing cozier than a warm bowl of chowder, and here in the Pacific Northwest, we have access to some great seafood! Paired with a crisp, buttery baguette and there’s simply nothing better! This recipe is surprisingly simple, but packs a punch of flavor!
Seafood Chowder:
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 tsp fresh thyme
- 1/4 cup flour
- 2 stacks celery, sliced
- 1 lb potatoes, cubed
- 4 cups broth (seafood, chicken or veggie)
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 1/2 cup Dungeness crab
- 2 (6 oz) cans chopped clams (save the liquid!)
- 1/2 cup bay shrimp
- 2 cups half and half
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 5 strips of cooked bacon, chopped
- 2 TBSP fresh parsley
- salt and pepper, to taste
Melt the butter in a frying pan. Add the onions, flour, and thyme and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and continue to cook for 30 seconds.
Add the celery, potatoes, broth, wine, and the reserve liquid from the clams. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to a simmer, cook for 4 minutes.
Stir in the half and half, and half of the bacon (reserve the rest for garnish). Cook until the potatoes are tender, about 6 minutes. Add in your seafood and cook for 4 more minutes. Stir in the parsley and season with salt and pepper.
Top off with chopped bacon and extra parsley. Serve with bread. Enjoy!
