Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion, finely diced
• 2 stalks celery stalks, diced
• 2 medium carrots, diced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
• 4 cups clam juice
• 2 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 leaf bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 medium russet potato, peeled and diced
• 1 pound fresh cod, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion, celery, carrots, and red bell pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the crushed tomatoes, clam juice, broth, bay leaf, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and add the diced potatoes. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 6

Add the cod and shrimp to the pot and gently stir. Simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the seafood is cooked through. The cod should flake easily, and the shrimp should be pink and opaque.

Step 7

Remove the bay leaf and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.

Step 8

Ladle the chowder into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm with crusty bread or oyster crackers.
