- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 cups diced potatoes
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/2 lb cod fillet, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/2 lb littleneck clams, cleaned and scrubbed
- 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions
In a large Dutch oven or stockpot, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, celery, and garlic to the pot. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
Slowly pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
Add the diced potatoes, dried thyme, dried oregano, and bay leaf to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Add the cod, shrimp, and clams to the pot. Let simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the seafood is cooked through.
Stir in the heavy cream and season the chowder with salt and pepper, to taste.
Remove the bay leaf from the pot.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
