Servings: persons

1 cup butter
1 medium onion, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 carrot, cut in half and thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
14 ounces chicken broth
1 (15 1/2 ounce) can hominy
1 quart half-and-half
1/4 cup flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 lb rock shrimp (or use small 70/90 count shrimp)
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

1
Melt butter in large stock pot.
2
Saute onion, celery and carrot until tender, about 15 minutes.
3
Add salt, pepper, cayenne and cloves.
4
Add chicken broth and simmer for 15 minutes.
5
Using a hand held blender, blend until smooth (I don't have one of these so I use my food processor in batches or electric blender. Or if you like your chowder with the chunks in it, as the recipe owner does, you can skip this step completely).
6
Add hominy and simmer for 5 minutes.
7
Mix 1 cup of the half and half with flour until smooth and add to stock pot.
8
Add sugar, remaining half and half and shrimp. Bring mixture to the point of almost boiling.
9
Add cheese and heat thoroughly, stirring until cheese is melted and soup is creamy.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
