I am shocked this does not have more reviews. I love this. Ive made it about 10 times in the past 2 years and all the time it comes out delicious. Everyone who loves seafood just wolfs it down. Even those who are not wild about seafood and mushrooms have admitted its delicious. I often add extra scallops and / or mushrooms and it always turns out great. I intend to try it with shrimp and maybe lobster. I serve with crust fench bread for dipping. The hardest part is the chopping (tedious and time consuming because you want the veggies sliced up as small as possible) and the pureeing because I always do it when the veggies are warm and it gets hot and the mixture is thick but its not really a complicated recipe, just time consuming for a novice cook such as myself.

I made this tonight and I personally love the fact that it's so different from any other. I thought the carrots and the blending was strange but it all makes sense once you've made it. I can't imagine using a pound of mushrooms and I love mushrooms, I used a half pound. I can see this being great with any kind of seafood and a keeper for when our bored with all your other recipes.. I really liked it

This was good. I added 1 tsp. of Old Bay and a can of whole kernel corn. I didn't have fresh mushrooms, so I added a small can, but could have left it out and will next time. After pureeing the cooked vegetables, I decided I wanted some chunks of potato and so added four small diced potatoes. I also didn't have any white wine, but don't think it would have made this any better anyway. This was very good. Thanks.

Very good recipe, I have made this on 4 different occasions with 3 different seafood ingredients ,bay scallops, alaskan king crab and shrimp. All 4 times it was great. I didn't change anything else in the recipe except for adding 1 tsp of Old Bay Seasoning.

I served this when I had my parents over for dinner, and they loved it. This is a great soup, but it needs a little more texture. I think I would have liked it better if I had left some of the potatoes in chunks.

I was extremely disappointed in this dish. Very bland, and too much work for a dish that is not a 5.

WOW, THIS IS A WONDERFUL CHOWDER THAT EVERYONE LOVES. I USE SKIM MILK INSTEAD OF WHIPPING CREAM AND IT STILL TASTES DEVINE. I HIGHLY SUGGEST THIS.

I just wasn't impressed with the base of this soup. It had an almost grainy texture to it. My husband did, however, say he liked the flavor.

This was amazing! I did reduce the amount of mushrooms per the suggestion of one other reviewer... One pound per batch would have been way too much. I made three batches, and used about 12 oz. mushrooms total. The heavy cream/egg yolk mixture makes the recipie. Smell the mixture prior to adding it -- and then after adding it. So rich, so good. I actually used more scallops than called for, and I also added about 1/3 lb. of medium-small shrimp per batch... I intentionally broke the scallops up a bit with a whisk while cooking (I used large scallops) to make it more evenly distributed. All in all, excellent flavor. One reviewer had said they'd used 5 potatoes vs. 3... I used three. I think 5 would have made it a little too thick for my taste. This will definitely become a regular in my book. Regards.

Great. I used a lot more potatoes (5) so I increased the recipe, I also used half-and-half and and imitation crab instead of scallops. It was a big hit with everyone and a great way to use up my potatoes.

An excellent recipe, however, I only used a couple of ounces of mushrooms, and doubt one can actaully use a whole pound as recipe calls for without mushrooms completely overwhelming the entire thing. First time I used scallops, 2nd time I used some shrimp, and looking forward to next time when I will use crab, maybe some lobster too!!!

This chowder isfantastic. Real New England flavor. The scallops break up into small pieces and the blended carrots and vegetables add a wonderful body. A meal in itself. A+

I made this for New Years Day and It was GREAT! The flavor was perfect. Could not find Bay Scallops had to use Sea Scallops but still great. We will be having this again and again! Thanks Kathy

This is an excellent recipe. A bit rich with all that heavy cream, but delicious. Instead of bay scallops, I used sea scallop pieces which worked just as well.
