Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, chopped
1 large carrot, diced
1 cup cooked ham or turkey ham, cubed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon onion salt (if you don't have this just add additional salt)
1 14 ounce can chicken broth
3/4 cup half and half
1 pound Seafood Medley Frozen Mix (at Trader Joe's), thawed and rinsed

Directions

1

In a large dutch oven over medium heat, melt 3 tablespoons butter. Add onion, carrots and diced ham. Cook until onions are translucent and carrot is tender, about 6-8 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook about 2 minutes. Add the salts, chicken broth and 1 cup of corn. Stir, bring to a simmer.
2

Mix the milk and cream together. Using a blender or immersion blender, combine the remaining corn and the milk/cream mixture. It may look frothy, that is ok. Blend for about 30 seconds in a blender, for about 1-2 minutes with the immersion blender. Add to soup. Let simmer for about 5 minutes. Add the seafood mix and cook for 3-5 minutes or until the calamari looks/tastes tender. If desired, the ham can be omitted. Or you can add more. :)
