Cheater's Seafood Chowder
This is a quick dinner soup for when you have unexpected guests drop in and is a variation off of the classic “Nail Soup” or “Stone Soup” fairy tale. You add the ingredients to your taste and to the amount of hungry mouths you are feeding.
If you follow the recipe below, it makes enough soup for about 4 - 6 people depending on how big your bowls are or how hungry your crowd is.
INGREDIENTS:
- can of cream of mushroom soup (I prefer the brand names)
- can of clams - use the clam juice instead of milk or water
- one diced carrot (make them smaller)
- a handful or two of frozen corn (I have not tried canned corn, but I would recommend that you drain the corn before putting it in)
- one diced potato that has also been microwaved in a covered bowl until they are not so hard)
- a handful or two of frozen scallops and a handful or two of frozen shrimp
- a can of tuna including its juice if you need it
It does not need salt because of the canned ingredients.
