Every summer, I spend a good chunk of time in a beach area south of Boston with my family. I love it. I look forward to it every year from the day we leave until the day we are able to return! One of the things I love most is that we can pick up amazing, fresh seafood every single day. This is the perfect soup to make if you have access to a great, fresh seafood medley. I live in Nevada now… and there isn’t any fresh seafood in sight. So for this recipe I opted to use a bag of mixed seafood from my favorite overnight Seafood delivery company: Anderson Seafoods. It had shrimp, calamari, scallops and cod. It’s a perfect option for this soup!
This soup turns out creamy and delicious- and it’s a nice main dish soup with all of that wonderful seafood stuffed inside. Add a generous hunk of buttered sourdough bread… and maybe a small green salad… and you’re all set for a great dinner.
It’s a typical chowder– with a creamy base + potato and onion. It’s filling and tasty! If you live near the ocean with access to fresh fish, I envy you greatly! For now, I’ll do the best I can by hunting down the best fish I can to be delivered to my home. I’m counting down the days to our stay in Massachusetts this summer!
