  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 4 cups seafood or chicken broth
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 tsp thyme

  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 8 oz shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 8 oz scallops

Instructions

  5. Simmer gently for another 5-7 minutes, until seafood is cooked through.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

  • Do not boil after adding seafood to keep it tender.
  • Use any combination of seafood you prefer or have on hand.
  • For a thicker chowder, mash a few potatoes into the broth before adding cream.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days, but seafood is best enjoyed fresh.
