• Blend the remaining half-and-half cream and wine into the mixture. Serve and enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat butter in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in onion; cook until soft and translucent. Pour in chicken broth, and bring to a boil. Stir in garlic, bay leaves, cayenne pepper, Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir corn into boiling broth. Simmer about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium low.
• Remove 1 cup of soup, and set aside to cool slightly. Then pour into a food processor. Pour in half-and-half. Puree for 30 to 45 seconds, and set aside.
• In a small bowl, stir together flour and milk. Slowly stir into simmering soup. Stirring constantly, simmer for 1 to 2 minutes. Then stir in pureed mixture.
• Reduce heat to low, stir in crab meat, and cook until warmed through, about 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Saute the celery, bell pepper, onion, carrot and garlic in the butter for about 10 minutes.
• Add the flour and cook briefly (about 2-3 minutes.
• Add the milk, shrimp stock (see below), bay leaf, corn and seasonings.
• Cook on low heat for 10-15 minutes stirring occasionally.
• Add the shrimp and crab meat and cook for another 15 minutes on low heat.
• Add the Accent and thyme and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
• Serve hot.
• FOR SHRIMP STOCK:.
• When you peel the boiled shrimp, keep the shells and boil in 3 cups of water with 2 tablespoons of Tony's Seasoning.
• Cook for 10 minutes after water comes to a boil. Using a fine strainer, pour the stock into a large bowl. Throw shells away.
• Use the stock in your bisque.

Steps:

• * Instead of buying multiple small shallots, you can use one plum-sized shallot. It comes to a little more than 1/4 cup, but it still tastes great.
• * If using dried herbs, it's suggested that you use less than the called-for amount, but I used about 3 teaspoons dried thyme and parsley in my modified version.
• * I increased the amount of black pepper to about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 teaspoons I like pepper, and 1/2 teaspoons just didn't seem like nearly enough.
• * If not using canned broth, 2 cups of broth works well.
• * I used two 6 oz. cans of crab meat each time I've made this chowder.
• * I used I lb. of extra-large shrimp, cut into small pieces.
• * This recipe did not call for any salt, but the first time I made it I found it to be somewhat sweet. Since it's such a large amount of chowder, I added about 3/4 tsp of salt, but feel free to add more or less depending on your tastes.
• 1) In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter.
• 2) Add onion, shallots, celery, red pepper, and garlic. Saute for 4 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
• 3) Add potatoes and saute for an additional 1 minute.
• 4) Sprinkle flour over the mixture one tablespoon at a time, stirring well. Cook the mixture for one minute more.
• 5) Add one more tablespoon of butter if the mixture if desired.
• 6) Stir in cream, thyme, pepper, nutmeg, corn, and broth. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently.
• 7) Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally.
• 8) Stir in crab, shrimp, and parsley and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the chowder has reached the desired thickness. Continue to stir occasionally until done.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat; then gradually whisk in the flour. Cook 5 to 7 minutes, whisking constantly, until a golden roux forms; set aside.
• Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Combine the onion, garlic, and celery and cook 1 minute. Add the Cajun seasoning to taste. Stir in the broth, corn, and bay leaf. Bring to a simmer, then pour in the milk, cream, and liquid crab boil. When the mixture begins to simmer, reduce heat to low and simmer 7 minutes. Stir in the roux, 1 tablespoon at a time, blending thoroughly. Continue to cook, on low heat, whisking until mixture thickens. Stir in crabmeat, green onions, and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer 6 to 8 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
