Chef's Tips

Only reheat soup as needed. Keep remainder well refrigerated.
Try adding bacon or specialty sausage to give chowder another dimension.
Larger servings are a main course item with fresh bread to warm up your chilly guests.

Directions

1 Melt the butter. Add the onions, garlic, corn, carrots, celery and red pepper. Sauté over medium heat until onions are soft. Add the flour and cook 1 more minute.
2 Add 125 ml of broth and mix with the flour to form a paste. Add remaining broth, thyme, potatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and cook for approximately 10 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
3 Add the clams, reserved clam juice, tuna and the cream. Bring to a boil. Adjust salt and pepper if necessary.
4 Sprinkle with fresh parsley upon serving.
** Alternatively you could use Pink or Sockeye Salmon instead of Tuna if you wish.
