Mike's Stacked Seafood Chowder

So, what to do with leftover lobster, crab, shrimp, clams and crawdad meat? This is what I asked of my 7 year old students. So, I charged them with creating a special dish for their parents this evening. Truthfully, I thought they'd make a simple bagel spread. Boy was I wrong.
Your creamy chowder was delicious kiddos! Excelent work! And, that fresh crispy garlic French bread for dipping took it over the top! I loved this dish! So did your parents!

Create your seafood stock by boiling shells, wine and bay leaves for 15 minutes on high. Make enough for 8 cups. You may not need all stock depending upon how thick or thin you'll want your chowder. Strain your stock twice in a fine mesh strainer or cheese cloth
