Cajun scallop chowder

This Cajun-inspired soup is a delicious alternative to your usual creamy chowder. The spice is warm and distinct but not overwhelming. Thanks to gimmesomeoven.com from whom I adapted the Cajun seasoning recipe. A little tip if using frozen scallops: to reduce any fishiness, defrost your scallops in a bowl of milk overnight in the fridge, then rinse them with cold water before cooking.

Cooking Instructions

Throw the bacon into a medium pot and turn the heat to medium. Cook until the bacon strips are crispy and rendered. Remove the bacon and set aside.

Drain the oil from the pot and add the butter. Once melted, add the leek, garlic, and green pepper. Let sweat for 3 or 4 minutes until softened, then add the potatoes. Let cook about 5 minutes.

Pour in the chicken stock and let the soup come to a simmer. Add the scallops and cream and simmer a final 6 to 8 minutes. Check and adjust the seasoning as required.

Clam Chowder with Scallops Clam Chowder with Scallops
When I had leftover boiled scallops, I used them in place of Manila clams and made this clam chowder. Because it turned out so good, I now make this chowder with scallops more frequently than regular clam chowder. What makes me happy is that there is no need to de-sand and no trash (= clam shells) as well.When sauteing the vegetables, adjust the heat to not let them burn. Quickly stir and saute with a spatula as soon as you add the flour.There is no thickness to the stew at first, but the liquid will reduce and gradually thicken as you let it simmer until the vegetables soften.

Oyster Clam Chowder Oyster Clam Chowder
I made this clam chowder with lots of oysters and veggies. If you add some short pasta, this soup will become even more filling.This soup will be amazing even without the white wine! You can also substitute the water with milk. The key is to cook the vegetables well in Step 2. They will be cooked in Step 3 as well, but it's important to add the oysters after they become soft.

Quick Clam Chowder Quick Clam Chowder
I live in the New England area and there are many delicious chowder restaurants. I tried to make this chowder taste closest to the restaurant that makes me think, "This place is delicious." I can make this dish quickly whenever I want with canned clams, so it is very easy and economical.You can taste the strong flavor of wine, so if you do not like wine, use less of it. Usually there are no carrots in New England Clam Chowder, but I used them since I prefer the taste. The soup will be delicious if you add other vegetables you like such as corn. If you have leftovers, you can toss with pasta for a delicious pasta dish. Recipe by Chikichikichiki-ta cookpad.japan
