SEAFOOD CHOWDER

Category: Chowders

2 1/2 cups potato, peeled and diced
1 (10 oz) pkg frozen kernel corn
1 cup carrot, peeled and chopped
1 tsp garlic, minced
2 1/2 cups chicken broth
2 1/2 cups broccoli florets
3 tbsp flour
1/4 tsp pepper
2 cups milk
6 oz frozen shrimp
6 oz crab flakes
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, combine potatoes, 1 cup corn, carrots, garlic and chicken broth; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently, until potatoes are tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Pour potato mixture into food processor or blender and process until smooth. Return mixture to soup pot and add remaining corn and broccoli. Cover pot and cook over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes.

In a small bowl, combine flour and pepper. Gradually blend in skim milk, stirring constantly, until mixture is smooth. Stir into soup. Add shrimp and crab and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 10 to 15 minutes. Remove soup from heat and stir in cheese until melted.
