Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 whole yellow onion, diced
- 2 whole celery stalks, finely chopped
- 1 whole carrot, peeled and diced
- 3 whole garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 3 whole russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 pound salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into chunks
- 1 cup raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup bay scallops
- 1.5 cups corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large pot over medium heat until the butter is melted.
Add the diced onion, celery, and carrot to the pot. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until the vegetables are softened and the onion is translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook the mixture for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Gradually pour in the vegetable broth, stirring continuously to create a smooth base.
Add the diced potatoes to the pot and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook for 12–15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Reduce the heat to low and add the salmon chunks, shrimp, scallops, and corn. Simmer gently for 5–7 minutes until the seafood is opaque and cooked through.
Stir in the heavy cream and fresh thyme. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Cook for another 2–3 minutes, ensuring the chowder is heated through but not boiling.
Ladle the chowder into bowls, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve with crusty bread or crackers if desired.
