Method
Step 1
Cook the potato and corn in a large heavy-based saucepan of boiling water for 10-12 mins or until the potato softens. Drain well. Transfer the corn and potato to separate heatproof bowls.
Step 2
Place the pan over medium heat. Add butter, bacon and leek and cook, stirring, for 2-3 mins or until leek softens. Stir in thyme, bay leaf, cayenne pepper and flour. Gradually add stock, stirring constantly until combined. Add potato and cook, stirring, for 5 mins or until the mixture thickens slightly. Add cream and bring to a simmer. Cook for 10 mins or until soup thickens. Add the prawns and scallops and cook for 4-5 mins or until cooked through. Stir in the crab or trout.
Step 3
Meanwhile, use a serrated knife to cut down the side of corn to release the kernels. Use a fork to coarsely mash.
Step 4
Stir corn, lemon rind and half the chives into the soup. Season. Ladle soup among serving bowls. Serve with remaining chives and sourdough.
