Scallop, Corn and Bacon Chowder

"This is wonderful for any occasion. I even make this during the summer, when its 95 degrees out! You can purchase the Bay Scallops frozen or fresh..I prefer fresh but either is great! In case you don't know.. Bay Scallops are small and Sea Scallops are the large ones. Both can be used for thi soup but the Sea scallops are more beneficial to the soup."

  1. Great. I didn't make the "parsley oil" but this was loved nonetheless. I used Yukon gold potatoes, and half and half instead of cream. I also used chicken broth in place of the clam juice. Thank you!
