Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 slices bacon, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 teaspoon tomato paste
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 cups milk or half-and-half
1 pound red-skinned potatoes, diced
12 ounces medium shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails removed
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh basil, torn into pieces

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large wide pot or medium Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring occasionally until crisp, about 5 minutes. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the tomato paste and stir until toasted, about 30 seconds. Scatter the flour over the onion and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon to make a paste, about 1 minute.
  • Pour in the broth and milk, stirring until the mixture is smooth. Add the potatoes and season with salt and a generous grinding of pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer, covered, until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Stir the shrimp into the soup and cook until just opaque and firm, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the basil. Adjust the consistency of the soup with a little water if it?s become too thick and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper.

This chowder is a bit bland for my taste. I would add more salt and pepper next time.

This chowder is very easy to make, but it doesn't have a lot of flavor. I would add more spices next time.
