7 strips of bacon
2 cps. onions
6 tbs. instant potatoes
1 qt. clam juice
1 qt. milk
1 qt. heavy cream
4 lbs. yukon gold potatoes
1 lb. clams
1 lb. scallops
1 lb. jumbo shrimp
1 lb. shrimp
1 lb. mixed seafood (octopus, squid, mussel, cuddlefish, etc.)
2 crab
4 oz. spicy brown mustard (spreadable)
Makes 10 quarts... Works out to 7 dollars per quart.
(Use a 14DCO or larger)
Start off by cooking bacon diced not too fast or too hot... You want the grease.
Add 2 cups of diced onions...
When the onions start to turn transluscent, sprinkle the instant potatoes over the mixture and then add the quarts of clamjuice, milk & heavy cream.
Slice and dice the potatoes and add them to the mixture... Let this cook for a bit.
When the base begins to thicken and the potatoes start to cook... Add the mustard and all of the seafood except the crab and shrimp. Lift the lid occasionally to make sure it's not boiling and stir while the lid is off.
Now take the two crabs and back them so you can easily crack the body and leg meat. (Note to self... Remember my apron next time)
The chowder is cooking away while I'm off cracking crab...
Add the crab meat and whatever shrimp you can without overflowing the oven...
There yaa have it... 10 quarts of awesome seafood chowder.
Uh-Oh... It's going fast!!!
It's because it's so good and every bite is loaded with STUFF!!!
Here... Have a bowl!!!
Sorry... All gone.
MMMMmmmmmmm... I'm drooling!! That looks awesome Dean! I love a good Chowdah!
Still, I'm gonna see what I can get and I'm gonna make this and we'll salute you while we eat it! Paul LOVES seafood (so do I) and he'll appreciate my efforts (no matter how much I may have to modify based on availability here)
