Time 1h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons salted butter
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 cup golden quinoa
2 cups frozen whole-kernel corn, thawed (or kernels from 2 to 3 large cobs)
5 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 pounds baby Yukon Gold potatoes, quartered
2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
4 ounces bacon (about 6 slices)
1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons fresh parsley leaves, finely chopped
4 green onions, finely chopped

Steps:

  • In a large stockpot set over medium heat, heat the oil and butter, about 2 minutes. Add the onion and garlic, and saute until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the quinoa and corn, and saute for 3 minutes more. Add the stock, cream, potatoes, and Old Bay. Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, until the quinoa and potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, using kitchen shears, cut the bacon into small pieces and add to a medium skillet set over medium heat. Cook until brown and crispy, about 4 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Set aside.
  • Add the shrimp to quinoa and cook until they are pink and opaque, 2 to 3 minutes. Just before serving, add the parsley, green onions, and bacon.

This chowder is delicious, but it's a bit time-consuming to make. I would recommend making it on a weekend or when you have more time.

I followed the recipe exactly and my chowder turned out too watery. I think I would add less broth next time.

This chowder is a bit bland for my taste. I would add more salt and pepper, and maybe some chili powder or cumin.

I made this chowder in my slow cooker and it turned out perfectly! I just threw all the ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning and it was ready for dinner when I got home.

This chowder is a great way to use up leftover quinoa. I also like to add a can of black beans or chickpeas for extra protein.
