Equipment
- 1 pot
Ingredients
- 1 small onion diced
- 1 stalk celery diced
- 1/3 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- 2 cup vegetable broth
- 1/3 cup corn kernels
- 3 tbsp white wine

- 1/2 tsp salt and pepper
- 1/2 tsp paprika

Instructions
- Scrub outside of mussel shells to remove debris. Let sit in a bowl of cold water until ready to add into soup.
- Sauté the onion and celery in olive oil for 3-4 minutes on low heat. Add all-purpose flour, mix and fry everything together for another 2 minutes. Add cubed fish, pre-boiled potatoes (if adding), corn, pour in stock, white wine, lemon juice, and stir to dissolve flour lumps.
- Add sprigs of thyme (1-2) and salt with spices. Cook for another 10 minutes on low heat, covering the pan with a lid.
- Rinse the shellfish and shrimp thoroughly and transfer them to a saucepan. Pour in the cream and mix everything. Boil the chowder for another 5 minutes or until mussel shells open (discard those that don't). Serve hot with parsley and other herbs.
