Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 Tablespoons Unsalted butter
  • 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
  • 2 stalks Celery (chopped)
  • 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 1/4 cup All-purpose flour
  • 4 cups Seafood or fish stock
  • 2 medium Russet potatoes (peeled and diced)
  • 1 cup Heavy cream
  • 1 cup Whole milk
  • 1 cup Lobster meat (chopped into bite-size pieces)
  • 1 cup Sea scallops (quartered if large)
  • 1 cup Corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
  • 1 leaf Bay leaf
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh chives (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Sauté the vegetables: In your large stockpot, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add finely chopped onions and celery, stirring until they soften—an aromatic beginning that fills your kitchen. After about 5 minutes, add minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute, just until fragrant.
  2. Make a base: Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the softened vegetables, stirring continuously for about 2 minutes.
  3. Combine the stock: Gradually pour in the seafood or fish stock, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
  4. Add potatoes and seasoning: Toss in the diced Russet potatoes alongside smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing the potatoes to cook for about 15 minutes or until tender.
  5. Incorporate the cream and seafood: Once the potatoes are soft, slowly add the heavy cream and whole milk, stirring until combined. Gently fold in the chopped lobster meat, quartered scallops, and corn kernels.
  6. Finishing touches: As the flavors meld beautifully, toss in a bay leaf and stir in the chopped fresh parsley and chives. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Remove the bay leaf before serving.

Notes

This chowder can be made ahead of time and refrigerated, allowing flavors to marry overnight.
