The Viking and his Queen

It's cold outside so that means soups stews and chowders are on the menu. So I wanted to share one of my favorites. Perfect for a cold night and the days of leftovers! I made a shrimp mussels and lobster but you can take this base and add what ever you want to it and make it your own.  Seafood Chowder 1 onion chopped 4 stalks of celery chopped 2 large carrots chopped  1-2 cups of potatoes (as little or much as you want) chopped  1 cup of corn (I use frozen) Salt to taste  Pepper to taste Red pepper to taste 2-3 teaspoons of butter 2-3 tablespoons of flour  In you pan sauté the veggies in a little oil till tender you will want to add the potatoes last cause they need to be more firm before you add the liquid  Once they are cooked add the flour and coat them let it cook for a minute or so then add the butter this will aid as your thickener  1 bottle of white wine (use what you drink) I like to use something drier but what ever you like just no White Zin or Riesling to sweet!  4 cups
