| 6 | Bacon |
| 1/2 | Olive oil |
| 1 | Celery |
| 1 | Onion |
| 2 cups | Chicken broth |
| 2 | Potatoes |
| 1 | Carrot |
| 1 | Tomato |
| 1/8 tsp | Black pepper |
| 1 tbsp | Cornstarch |
| 1 cup | Water |
| 13 oz | Canned clams |
| 3 | Cod fillets |
| 3/4 lb | Shrimp |
Instructions:
-
Begin by preparing the seafood. Cut the crab and fish fillet into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
-
Heat a large soup pot over medium-low heat and spray it with nonstick cooking spray. Add the olive oil to the pot.
-
Add the bacon, celery, and onion to the pot. Cook until the bacon is browned and the onions are tender, stirring occasionally.
-
Pour in the chicken broth, juice from the canned clams, bottled clam juice, diced potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
-
Cover the pot and simmer the chowder for about 35 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked through and tender.
-
Once the potatoes are cooked, add the clams, shrimp, crab, and fish fillet to the pot. Cook for an additional 3 minutes or until the fish is cooked through.
-
In a small bowl, blend the cornstarch with water until smooth. Pour the cornstarch mixture into the chowder, stirring constantly.
-
Continue to cook and stir the chowder until it thickens to your desired consistency. You may need to add additional cornstarch and water if necessary.
-
Once thickened, remove the chowder from heat and serve hot.
-
Garnish with fresh parsley or chives if desired, and enjoy!
Tips:
- Feel free to customize this chowder by using your favorite combination of seafood. Consider adding mussels or other shellfish for variety.
