  • 1 cup thinly sliced celery
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups refrigerated diced potato with onion (such as Simply Potatoes)
  • 2 cups frozen whole-kernel corn
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 (14-ounce) cans fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
  • 3/4 pound bay scallops
  • 1/2 cup half-and-half
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

This chowder has a wonderful taste and consistency. We don’t like celery so I skipped that. Every time I buy Simply Potatoes, they smell like they have gone bad and are slimy, even with a good date on the package, so I cooked potatoes and onions. I ran short on corn, so I only used 1 cup. I used a pound of scallops instead of the ¾ pound. Other than these four variations I made this as recipe reads. We both added more pepper at the table. I served this with a garden salad. Bread would make a good addition.

I didn't think this had much flavor. I cooked it longer than the recommended time but the potatoes actually still seemed too firm. It was easy to make but would need a little something to spice it up.
