Seafood Chowder

Abandoned Edibles
heavy cream, canned salmon (dent in can), baby carrots, onions
(additional ingredients: whitefish fillets, shrimp, clams, saffron, mushrooms, seafood stock, chicken stock, lemon juice, dill, butter, olive oil, potatoes, spices, etc.)

What I did: sauteed potatoes, onions, and carrots in butter and olive oil. Added seafood & chicken stock and clams, simmered for about 20 minutes until potatoes were almost soft. Removed tail from shrimp, cleaned canned salmon, added both to mix along with heavy cream. Seasoned broth with dill, salt and pepper, a tiny pinch of saffron (that shit is EXPENSIVE!), and lemon juice. Added whitefish last--thickened chowder with a roux, simmered until done.



The Verdict
Very rich and very delicious! Borderline orgasmic, actually. I could only eat a cup at a time, but my dinner date ate two bowls. So: SUCCESS! God DAMN, I love seafood.

Improvements for next time: celery, maybe? Just a bit.
