A rich, velvety seafood chowder that combines tender chunks of seafood with a creamy broth, ready in just 30 minutes for cozy nights or impressing guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb mixed seafood (shrimp, scallops, and white fish)
  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 1 medium carrot, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups seafood or fish stock
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Salt, pepper, and paprika to taste
  • Fresh parsley or dill, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Peel and dice the potatoes, chop the onions, celery, and carrots, and mince the garlic. If using frozen seafood, thaw it and pat it dry.
  2. Heat the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions, celery, carrots, and garlic. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  3. Sprinkle the flour over the sautéed vegetables and stir well. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
  4. Gradually pour in the seafood stock, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  5. Stir in the diced potatoes and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until they’re tender.
  6. Lower the heat to medium-low and add the seafood. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the seafood is opaque and cooked through.
  7. Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Let the chowder gently simmer for 3-4 minutes, but don’t let it boil.
  8. Ladle the chowder into bowls and garnish with chopped parsley or dill.

Notes

Taste the chowder before serving and adjust the seasoning as needed. If too thick, add a splash of stock or water. If too runny, simmer for a few extra minutes to thicken.
