THE BASKETERIA

seafoodchowder.JPG

We used to make this by taking our potato leek soup recipe and just adding seafood to it. That called for lots of heavy cream and butter, which was slowly killing me. We still start out like we are making the potato leek soup and found that it can be just as tasty without the dairy. Sorry Elsie.

INGREDIENTS

You can use any seafood you like in this. The ingredients below are as pictured, but you can use fish, clams, mussels, and squid if your heart desires. We use baby red and fingerling potatoes in ours but other potatoes will work fine. Adding the roasted potatoes adds a nice texture to the chowder instead of just boiling them with the soup.

96 ounces chicken broth
1    bunch of leeks chopped 
1    large spanish onion chopped
2lbs baby red potatoes halved or quartered
1.5 lb fingerling potatoes
12 ounces langostinos (baby lobster tails)
1lb bay scallops
1lb shrimp
1 can corn (if fresh not available)
salt
pepper

DIRECTIONS

1- Pre heat oven to 450. Spray fingerling potatoes with cooking spray and roast until skin is slightly crispy.

2- Combine baby red potatoes, leeks, onion, and broth in a large pot and boil. When potatoes are soft mash contents with a hand masher.

3- Add seafood, corn and fingerling potatoes (cut into pieces). Simmer until seafood is done and eat.
