Shrimp chowder

Tonight at work i made a wonderful shrimp chowder ,i got a cup of kernel corn,a cup of onion, one cup of finely diced carrot,a cup of finely diced bell pepper(red,and yellow), half cup of leeks, a cup of potatoes, half cup celery and one cup of diced shrimp.


I had some seafood stock made from the day before, placed a pot on medium heat add a table spoon of olive oil then place the onion,leeks, celery and potato in hot pan to saute, to this i added a little flour to make a roux, then i added three cups of seafood stock, two cups milk and two cups heavy cream,i allowed it to come to a simmer and start to thicken, when its at the right consistency it should coat the spoon when dipped into the chowder.

Then i added the rest of vegetables, shrimp and one cup of white wine and three table spoons of brandy, salt and pepper to taste serve thirty.
