Hardy soup great on a cold day.
In the bottom of a large saucepan melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, red pepper, salt and white pepper and cook until they soften. Add the chicken stock, bring to a low boil and add the potatoes and the corn and cook till potatoes are just tender, add the cream and the paprika and stir. With the cover on the saucepan reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally for about 1/2 hour. Then add the scallops give them a 3-minute head start, and then add the shrimp, when the scallops and the shrimp no longer look transparent (about 3 - 5 minutes), add your lobster meat, taste for seasoning and adjust to your liking. When everything is heated, serve into soup bowls, with some crusty French bread or your favorite chowder cracker.
This can be made a day in advance, and then heat slowly, stirring till heated through.
You can substitute other seafood or fish for any of the above, Squid, Cusk, Monkfish, Jonah Crab Claws, Mahogany Clams, Mussels, Shucked Oysters just use your judgment for cooking time.
