Ingredients
Vegetable Mix
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 cup small diced Russet potatoes
- 1 cup diced white onion
- 1 cup small diced carrots
- 1/2 cup diced celery
- 1/2 cup corn
- 1/4 cup flour
- 5 cups seafood stock
Seafood
- 1 pound large shrimp deveined tails removed
- 1 cup haddock or other white fish sliced into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup scallops
- one 6.5 ounce can chopped clams drained
- one 6 ounce can crabmeat drained and flaked
Cream and Toppings
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- oyster crackers
Instructions
- Melt the butter in the bottom of a large Dutch oven or stockpot over medium high heat. Add in the potatoes, onions, carrots, celery and corn. Fry the vegetables in the butter until the onions are tender.
- Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and mix in until dissolved into the butter.
- Slowly pour some of the seafood stock into the bottom of the pan, deglazing the browned bits off the bottom of the pan by scraping them off with a wooden spoon and mixing into the stock. Once cleaned, pour the remaining stock into the pan.
- Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Add in the seafood and the heavy cream. Bring the chowder back to a low simmer and cook the seafood for 7-10 minutes. Adjust seasonings to your liking. Remove from the heat.
- Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh dill and parsley and oyster crackers.

Notes
- *If you don't have seafood stock, use half clam juice and half water instead, but the stock really makes this exceptional!
