A rich and creamy seafood chowder made with succulent lobster and seared scallops, perfect for gourmet comfort food or special holiday dinners. This New England-style soup is full of flavor and melts in your mouth.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 lb lobster meat, chopped
  • 1/2 lb sea scallops
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium Yukon gold potatoes, diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon thyme
  • 2 cups seafood or chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Salt & cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and sear the scallops until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  2. Add the remaining butter to the pot, then sauté the onions and garlic until softened and fragrant.
  3. Stir in the diced potatoes, smoked paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2–3 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  4. Pour in the seafood or chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Cook until the potatoes are tender, about 10–12 minutes.
  5. Return the seared scallops to the pot along with the chopped lobster meat and heavy cream. Simmer gently for 5 more minutes.
  6. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use fresh or high-quality frozen seafood for best flavor.
  • Do not overcook the scallops or lobster to maintain tenderness.
  • For a thicker chowder, mash some of the potatoes before adding cream.
  • Replace heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter version.
