Seafood Chowder-By Renette

Recipes »  Soups, Stews and Chili  »  Chowders

Delicious mixture of seafood in cream base. Seafood lovers dream

"I used this recipe as the base for my clam chowder to be served at a United Way soup fundraiser. People found me out for the recipe. I will post the revised recipe under clam chowder. This soup gets better as it simmers (used crock pot after cooking on stove) to allow roux to mellow and thicken." - mnaiken

Excellent recipe. Easy to tweak to suit your ingredients and preferences. I made mine with clams, salmon & shrimp. Tasty!

This was excellent! Everyone loved it & asked for the recipe! I didn't have crab so I substituted fresh salmon that I cut into small pieces and put it in when I put in the shrimp. Going out & buying crab today to make again!! Restaurant quality recipe!!!

I was very nervous when I made this never made a soup stew or chowder but followed ur direction to the letter and it came out lovely. Just curious how I could've made it thicker

It's a cold Melbourne (Aust) winter so I cooked this for my Yankee partner. We had some visiting San Fran recently, & I have to say this was a pretty good match!! Being vegetarian I used fish & shrimp paste- & prawns & squid rings bloody fab!!! paste,

Great taste. I made one major change in that I used a fresh broth I made this morning using lobster, crab and shrimp shells instead of chicken broth. Also melted a little cheddar into it just before serving.

This is a great seafood dish. I used clam base (minor's) in lieu of the chicken broth. I also used 10% cream as in other recipes I have found the heavy cream too rich for my taste.

Yummy and easy even for a kitchen dummy like me.
