Chowder Ingredients

Method

Chowder Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Base

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and celery, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

  2. 2

    Cook the Potatoes

    Add the diced potatoes to the pot and pour in the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Shrimp and Crab

    Stir in the fresh shrimp and lump crab meat. Cook until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, about 3-5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Finish the Chowder

    Pour in the heavy cream and add the Old Bay seasoning. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat through gently, being careful not to boil.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Ladle the chowder into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve hot with bread and butter.
