This soup is simple to make, but delicious and guaranteed to impress guests. The rich, creamy broth gets its flavor from shallots, chives, and a medley of favorite shellfish. You can add more Old Bay seasoning if you prefer... we Northeasterners love our Old Bay! If you prefer a thicker soup, simply mix some flour and milk together until smooth and stir it in when you add the cream and chicken broth.
