Chowder Ingredients

Method

Chowder Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, celery, and carrot. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are soft and translucent.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic and Tomatoes

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Then add the crushed tomatoes, stirring well to combine.

  3. 3

    Simmer the Broth

    Pour in the fish stock or broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Incorporate the Cream

    Add the heavy cream to the pot and stir well. Allow the chowder to simmer for an additional 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add Seafood

    Gently add the cubed fish, shrimp, and scallops into the pot. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the seafood is cooked through and opaque.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Ladle the chowder into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot with crusty bread on the side.
