Seafood Chowder (gluten free)
This is one of my signature dishes.
If you like seafood then you really should give this seafood chowder recipe a go, it takes under 10 minutes to cook and tastes amazing.
I have had so many compliments when I served it in restaurants over the years, it has also proven to be extremely popular when I posted it to my Facebook Page or cook it at cooking demos.
The tomatoes give it a lovely sweetness that you wouldn’t normally expect in a chowder, it is perfect for either a summers evening or a cold winters night beside the fire

I didn’t use the tomatoes, carrots or cream (as I had none in). But it was just as lovely without them, I added a little bit of leek and cooked the veg longer until soft. It was very tasty and filling.
You can use lactose free cream (tesco) or elmlea instead of regular cream. It’s not something I take due to my high cholesterol.
