1
Prepare the Base
In a large pot, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, carrot, and garlic, and sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.
2
Add Potatoes and Stock
Stir in the diced potatoes and add 4 cups of seafood stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
3
Add the Seafood
Add the clams, shrimp, and crab meat to the pot. Simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and the clams are heated through.
4
Make it Creamy
Stir in 2 cups of heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the chowder to warm through for another 5 minutes.
5
Serve
Ladle the chowder into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve hot.
