Snowy Saturday Seafood Chowder
Author: 
 
Ingredients
  • 4-1/2 ounce can tiny shrimp, undrained
  • 6-1/2 ounce can minced clams, undrained
  • 8-ounce package frozen crabmeat, thawed
  • 8 strips bacon, diced
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon pepper
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • 3 cups peeled, diced potatoes
  • 15-ounce can cream-style corn
  • ½ cup chopped green onion
  • 2 Tablespoons chopped fresh flat leaf parsley
  • 2 cups whole milk, slightly warmed or at room temperature
  • 1 cup half-and-half, slightly warmed or at room temperature
Instructions
  1. Drain shrimp and crab, reserving liquid. Shred the crabmeat with your fingers and add to the shrimp and clams; set seafood and liquid aside.
  2. Saute bacon in a soup pot until crispy. Drain off all but 1 Tablespoon of bacon drippings. Add garlic, seafood liquid, wine, salt, pepper, and thyme. Bring to a boil and add potatoes. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer gently for 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
  3. Add creamed corn, green onion, and parsley. Stir in milk and half-and-half. Bring just to boil, whisking constantly. Add all seafood and cook over medium heat until very hot. Season to taste. Note: I save some of the cooked bacon to sprinkle on top of each serving along with some sliced green onion tops.
