Time 1h35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 cups water
2 cups uncooked white rice
3 (10 ounce) cans clam juice, divided
¼ cup butter, divided
1 small sweet onion (such as Vidalia®), diced
1 thick slice honey ham, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 potatoes, peeled and cut into bite-size pieces
¼ teaspoon salt, or to taste
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
½ pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
½ pound small sea scallops
1 (10 ounce) can sweet corn, drained
¼ teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste
¼ teaspoon onion powder, or to taste

Steps:

  • Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Place rice and 1/2 can clam juice in a blender; puree until smooth.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large stock pot over medium heat. Add onion, ham, and garlic; cook and stir until garlic starts to pop, about 10 minutes. Mix in potatoes, salt, and pepper. Add the remaining 2 1/2 cans clam juice. Cover the chowder base and cook until potatoes are fork-tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Dice shrimp into small pieces. Add shrimp and scallops to the chowder base. Cook until shrimp turns pink and scallops are opaque, about 5 minutes. Stir in the rice puree, the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, corn, garlic powder, and onion powder. Reduce heat to low. Simmer, covered, until flavors combine, about 5 minutes.

This chowder is so easy to make, and it's always a hit with my guests. I love that I can make it ahead of time and just reheat it when I'm ready to serve.

I'm a chef, and I have to say this chowder is one of the best I've ever had. The flavors are perfectly balanced.

I'm allergic to shellfish, so I made this chowder with chicken and vegetables instead. It was still very good!

Overall, I thought this chowder was just okay. It's not bad, but it's not something I would make again.

This chowder is way too expensive to make. I can get a better chowder at the local seafood restaurant for half the price.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the chowder turned out too watery. Not sure what went wrong.

The chowder was a bit bland. I had to add more salt and pepper to taste.

This chowder is a bit too thick for my taste. I'll try adding more milk next time.

I used frozen shrimp and scallops, and the chowder still turned out great. Definitely a keeper recipe.

I added a bit of Old Bay seasoning and a splash of white wine to the chowder. It turned out amazing!

I've tried many chowder recipes, but this one is by far the best. The combination of shrimp and scallops is perfect, and the vegetables add a nice touch of sweetness. Highly recommend!
