Ingredients
| 6 | slices center-cut bacon |
|---|---|
| 1⁄2 | tablespoon olive oil |
| 1 | cup celery, finely sliced |
| 1 | cup onion, chopped |
| 2 | cups reduced fat chicken broth |
| 2 | cups potatoes, peeled and cubed |
| 1 | cup carrot, finely sliced |
| 1 | 16 ounce can (16 ounce) can tomatoes, diced |

| 1 | tablespoon cornstarch |
| 1 | tablespoon water |
| 13 | ounces clams, canned, undrained |
| 3 | ounces cod, haddock, pollock (or fish of your choice) |
| 3 | ounces imitation crabmeat |
| 3 | ounces shrimp, cooked and peeled |
| 1 | clam juice, bottled |
Instructions
| 1. | Begin by cutting the crab and fish fillet into bite-sized pieces. |
|---|---|
| 2. | Prepare a large soup pot by spraying it with nonstick cooking spray and adding a drizzle of olive oil. |
| 3. | Add the slices of center-cut bacon, finely sliced celery, and chopped onion to the pot. Cook over medium-low heat until the bacon is browned and the onions are tender. |
| 4. | Pour in the reduced-fat chicken broth, juice from the canned clams, bottled clam juice, peeled and cubed potatoes, finely sliced carrots, diced tomatoes, and a pinch of black pepper. |
| 5. | Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 35 minutes, or until the potatoes are fully cooked. |
| 6. | Next, add the canned clams, cooked and peeled shrimp, imitation crabmeat, and the fish fillet. Heat until the fish is cooked through, approximately 3 minutes. |
| 7. | In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water until well blended. Stir this mixture into the chowder and continue to cook and stir until the chowder thickens. |
| 8. | Adjust the thickness of the chowder by adding more cornstarch mixed with water if needed. |
| 9. | Serve this exquisite Manhattan seafood chowder piping hot. |
| 10. | Feel free to customize this dish with your preferred selection of seafood. Aim to maintain a total weight of seafood around 1 lb for optimal flavor. |
