Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a large pot over medium heat, cook the diced bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the bacon grease in the pot.

  2. In the same pot, add the diced onion, chopped celery, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.

  3. Add the diced potatoes to the pot and pour in the seafood or chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.

  4. Stir in the mixed seafood (shrimp, crab, and white fish) into the pot and let it cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the seafood is cooked through.

  5. Pour in the heavy cream and sprinkle in the dried thyme. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

  6. Season the chowder with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning as needed.

  7. Serve the seafood chowder hot, garnished with the crispy bacon and chopped fresh parsley for a burst of freshness.
