Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 large potato, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 leeks, sliced 1/8-inch thick
1 shallot, minced
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ cups chopped wild mushrooms
1 teaspoon dried thyme
½ cup sherry, or to taste
4 tablespoons butter
¼ cup all-purpose flour
3 cups vegetable stock
3 cups milk
1 teaspoon ground ginger
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 pound bay scallops, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste

Steps:

  • Place potato into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until soft, about 5 minutes. Drain.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add leeks and shallot and cook, stirring frequently, until soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add mushrooms and thyme and cook until mushrooms are soft but not browned, another 3 to 5 minutes. Add 1/2 sherry and stir until reduced by about half, about 5 minutes more.
  • Melt butter in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add flour and stir to create a paste. Slowly whisk vegetable stock into the flour mixture until fully incorporated and smooth. Add milk and stir to mix fully. Transfer mushroom mixture from the skillet to the soup pot, being sure to scrape all of the glaze from the skillet as well. Add ginger, salt, and pepper to taste, keeping it mild for now. Add an additional dash or 2 of sherry to the soup, if desired.
  • Bring soup to a boil, about 5 minutes. Add scallops and boil for 3 minutes; test one to be sure they are cooked before serving. Stir in cooked potatoes and season with additional salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper as desired.

This chowder was a little bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added more salt and pepper.

This chowder was a bit too rich for my taste. The flavor was good, but it was just a bit too heavy. I think I would have liked it better if I had used less cream.

This chowder was just okay. The flavor was a bit bland and the scallops were a bit tough. I think I would have liked it better if I had used fresh scallops instead of frozen.
