Ingredients

Scale
  1. 2 tbsp butter
  2. 1 onion, finely chopped
  3. 2 cloves garlic, minced
  4. 2 celery stalks, diced
  5. 2 medium potatoes, diced
  6. 4 cups seafood broth
  7. 1 cup heavy cream
  8. ½ lb haddock, cut into chunks
  9. ½ lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  10. ½ lb scallops
  11. ½ cup cooked lobster meat (optional)
  12. 1 cup corn kernels
  13. ½ tsp dried thyme
  14. Salt and pepper to taste
  15. 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  • In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and celery. Sauté until soft.
  • Add diced potatoes and seafood broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender (about 10 minutes).
  • Pour in heavy cream and stir well.
  • Add haddock, shrimp, scallops, and lobster (if using). Simmer for 5-7 minutes until seafood is cooked through.
  • Stir in corn, thyme, salt, and pepper. Let cook for another 2 minutes.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • You can use any firm white fish like cod or halibut if haddock is unavailable.
  • For an extra creamy texture, you can add a little more heavy cream or some milk.
  • If you’re not using lobster, you can replace it with more shrimp or scallops for added seafood flavor.
  • This chowder pairs beautifully with crusty bread for dipping.
