SEATTLE SEAFOOD CHOWDER
I found a basic recipe for a seafood chowder in one of my Seattle cookbooks. I have since added ingredients and changed amounts through the years. This recipe is the total of my experimentation. The flexibility of the recipe is great. You may use 1 lb of any assorted shellfish that is in season, to replace the shrimp and scallops. Or sub another pound of white fish or salmon if you choose. It is so versatile. It makes a nice big pot of a winter hardy chowder. It freezes well, for quick dinners another night. (if freezing do not add potatoes until you reheat the soup) It is best when you garnish the soup with oyster crackers or croutons. A wonderful meal on a cold Minnesota winters night!
