Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 2 medium celery stalks, diced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 4 cups chicken or seafood stock
• 3 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 bay leaf
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 pound cod or haddock fillets, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 0.5 pounds small scallops
• 0.75 pounds raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 1 loaf crusty bread, for serving

Directions

Step 1

Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion, celery, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 4

Gradually pour in the chicken or seafood stock, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.

Step 5

Add the diced potatoes and bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the heavy cream and return to a gentle simmer.

Step 7

Add the fish, scallops, and shrimp to the pot. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the seafood is opaque and cooked through.

Step 8

Remove the bay leaf and discard.

Step 9

Season the chowder with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately with crusty bread on the side.
