Yield Makes 4 main-course or 6 first-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 bacon slices, finely chopped
2 boiling potatoes (3/4 lb total), cut into 1/4-inch dice (1 1/2 cups)
1/2 cup finely chopped shallots (2 large)
3/4 cup bottled clam juice
2 1/2 cups whole milk
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 lb shrimp, shelled, deveined, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 lb sea scallops, quartered and tough muscle removed from side of each if necessary
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 lb shelled cooked lobster meat, cut into 1/2-inch-thick pieces, or 1/2 lb lump crabmeat, picked over
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Cook bacon in a 5-quart heavy pot over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer bacon with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon fat from pot and stir in potatoes, shallots, and clam juice. Simmer, covered, until potatoes are tender and most of liquid is evaporated, about 8 minutes. Stir in milk and cayenne and return just to a simmer.
  • Add shrimp, scallops, and salt and simmer, stirring occasionally, until shellfish is just cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in lobster and half of herbs and simmer 1 minute. Serve chowder topped with bacon and remaining herbs.

The chowder was good, but it was a bit too thick for my liking. I would recommend adding more liquid next time.

This chowder was a bit too salty for my taste, but otherwise it was very good. I would recommend using less salt next time.

This chowder was a hit with my family! The broth was rich and flavorful, and the seafood was cooked perfectly. I especially loved the addition of the corn and potatoes, which gave the chowder a nice sweetness and heartiness.
