Seafood Corn Chowder Recipe

Fall is here!  The Detroit Lions game is today and our family is meeting up with some other wrestling families to watch the game.   So I thought it fitting to have our favorite Wrestling Season Comfort Food....Seafood Corn Chowder!!! Yumm-O!!  Here is the recipe below!

Prep Time 15 Minutes Cook 20 Minutes Makes 4/5 Servings(I double this for our family)

1 14 oz can chicken broth
1 cup sliced celery about 2 stalks
1 cup chopped onion or 1 large
1/2 cup sliced carrots or 1 medium
1 14.75 oz can of cream-style corn
2 sprigs of thyme
1/8 teaspoon ground pepper
Few dashes to taste of hot pepper sauce
10-12 oz cooked shrimp and or crabmeat
(we use for a dble batch 2 small packages crab meat immitation and 1 bag of 40-50 lrge shrimp)

We use oyster crackers or saltines to go with this and sometimes put potatoes in our soup also.  We mix it up some.  If you like more heat add red pepper flakes.

First in a medium saucepan combine broth, celery, onion, and carrot.  Bring this to a boil and reduce the heat.  Simmer, covered for about 20 minutes or until vegetables are fork tender.  Cool Slightly.

Transfer 1/2 the broth vege mixture to a blender or food processor.  Cover and blend until smooth.  Repeat with the remaining mixture and then pour that back into your saucepan.  Then stir in your corn, add sprigs of thyme, pepper, whipping cream, crab meat and/or shrimp.  Heat through.
