Creamy Seafood Chowder
Description
This chowder incorporates butter sautéed onions, seasoned with Old Bay and thyme, and thickened with flour. A mixture of vegetables and broth is boiled and then simmered to develop depth. Fresh seafood chunks are added alongside cream to finish cooking, creating a creamy, smooth chowder with tender seafood pieces and soft vegetables.
The seafood provides a variety of textures—flaky fish, tender scallops, shrimp, and clams—while the vegetables add comforting body and subtle sweetness. The use of white wine and Old Bay seasoning enhances the savory and aromatic profile.
Serve the chowder hot, garnished with fresh parsley for brightness. It makes a filling main course, suitable for cooler days or when a satisfying seafood dish is desired.
