You think you know chowder? You think you are a chowder fan, aficionado… a chowder connoisseur? We beg to differ; we've got a chowder that you've never seen before, and its delights will tantalize your taste buds. Scrumptious scallops, sweet and tender, and bright corn, mixed with a broth good enough to drink. And on top, crispy jalapeños offer a crunch, spicy hit. You'll never look at good old clam or chicken chowder with the same love. Tip: To keep corn kernels from making a mess, place the ear of corn in a bowl and holding vertically. Cut downward, rotating corn as you go, so kernels end up in the bowl instead of scattered on your counter.
