Seafood Chowder

I am currently on vacation so I decided to try making one of my mother-in-law's recipes for Seafood Chowder. Here it is:

SEAFOOD CHOWDER
1) Fry 1 onion, 1 carrot & 1 celery stalk in 1/4 block of margarine.
2) Boil 1 potato until soft.
3) Add a little flour to the vegetables until creamy.
4) Add 1/2 pint cream. Simmer with the vegetables.
5) Add 1/2 pint whipping cream.
6) Put in scallops for 5 minutes. Then add any combination of
lobster, shrimp and crab meat.


I doubled the recipe because of the amount of seafood I had and mashed the potatoes before I added them to the soup pot. It was delicious. I found lobster in a tin at Costco in the frozen food section ($15.99)
