Recipe
In a large stockpot bring water, clam juice, tomatoes, Cajun spices, pepper, garlic powder, bay leaf, chicken base and salt to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and add butter and stir until melted. Gradually whisk in 1/4 cup flour, whisking constantly to combine. If necessary, add more, a tablespoon at a time, whisking constantly, until the soup has thickened and is smooth. Add the salmon, flounder, crab meat, shrimp and clams with their juice and cook until the soup returns to a gentle simmer.
Meanwhile, in a separate pot, bring sherry, wine and paprika to a boil. Cook until reduced by one third. Add to soup and stir to combine. Add cream to soup and stir until warmed through.
Makes 16 servings.
