Sea salt to taste
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 cups clam juice

Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the leek, celery, bay leaves, and carrots. Add the salt and cayenne. Saute until the vegetables are tender, about 7 minutes. Add the clam juice and chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add the potatoes and corn. Simmer for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Sprinkle salt on the seafood and add to soup. Simmer for 3-4 minutes. Remove bay leaves and stir in the cream and parsley. Taste and add more salt if needed.
