  • 6 cups 2% milk
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 teaspoons thyme
  • 2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
  • 4 bay leaves
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 6 tablespoons flour
  • 3 small sweet onions diced
  • cups carrots diced
  • cups celery diced
  • 15 cups Yukon potatoes cut into ½-inch pieces

  • 9 cups 2% milk
  • 6 cups vegetable broth
  • 3 teaspoons thyme
  • 3 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
  • 6 bay leaves
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Base In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery, cooking until the onion is translucent and vegetables have softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Make the Roux Sprinkle the flour over the cooked vegetables, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste. This will help thicken the chowder.
  • Add Potatoes and Broth Gradually add the vegetable broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Add the diced potatoes, thyme, Old Bay seasoning, and bay leaves. Sprinkle in a dash of salt and pepper. Cover the pot and let it simmer for approximately 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are perfectly tender.
  • Add Milk and Shrimp Pour in the milk and stir well. Add the shrimp, and cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through.
  • Serve Remove the bay leaves before serving. Ladle the chowder into bowls, and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a dash of Old Bay for added flavor.
