One piping hot hearty seafood chowder! Perfect especially on a super chilly, windy, rainey stormy night! Served with loads of succulent seafood in every stinkiin' bite!

For those in the know, I have what we all call, "The Four Armageddon Pantries," in my home. Yup, four entire rooms devoted to endless food supplies. Anyway, today three of my students were charged with making a comforting lunch since it was so cloudy and gloomy here. All the while rotating our older canned reserves. Well, that they did! Their chowder turned out delicious! Excelent work with delicious shortcuts kiddos! This was a fantastic chowder and so darn comforting!

Cooking Instructions

60 mins
  1. 1

    Add everything in the Soup Base section in a large pot. Turn heat on low. Stir regularly.

  2. 2

    Pull your fresh seafood from husks.

  3. 3

    Reserve all husks and skins. Boil husks in water with onions for 20 minutes to make your seafood stock.

  4. 4

    Strain broth.

  5. 5

    Chop seafood into small cubes then refrigerate.

  6. 6

    Chop everything in the Vegetable and Seafood Stock section and add them to broth and wine. Boil for 25 minutes.

  7. 7

    Strain vegetables but reserve broth just in case it's needed for thinning soup base.

  8. 8

    Add vegetables to the soup base and stir. Simmer on low for fifteen minutes. Stir constantly since this is one viscous soup. It will burn and stick to the bottom of your pot.

  9. 9

    Add seafood and gently simmer for 10 minutes. Add additional stock if you want your soup a little thinner for dipping bread. Again, stir soup regularly.

  10. 10

    All ingredients are now incorporated.

  11. 11

    Add fresh thick cut chopoed crispy bacon to garnish if you'd like!

  12. 12

    Serve with fresh bread for dipping or, croutons. Enjoy!
