7. - 2 tablespoons olive oil
8. - 1 medium onion, finely chopped
9. - 3 cloves garlic, minced
10. - 2 cups (about 500ml) chicken or clam broth
11. - 1 cup diced carrots
12. - 1 cup diced celery

21. - Measuring cups and spoons
22. - Chef's knife
24. ### Step-by-Step Instructions:
26. **1. Prepare the Scallops:**
27. - Rinse the bay scallops under cold water to remove any sand, ensuring they are dry before cooking.
29. **2. Sautee Aromatics:**
30. - Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
31. - Add chopped onion and minced garlic; sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
33. **3. Add Vegetables:**
34. - Stir in diced carrots and celery.
35. - Cook for another 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables begin to soften.
37. **4. Incorporate Broth and Wine:**
38. - Pour in chicken or clam broth and white wine (if using).
39. - Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, reducing heat as necessary to maintain a low boil.
41. **5. Add Scallops:**
42. - Once the broth is hot but not boiling vigorously, add the bay scallops.
43. - Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the scallops are just starting to turn opaque and firm up slightly.
45. **6. Finish with Cream and Seasoning:**
46. - Stir in heavy cream; let it heat through but do not allow it to boil as this can curdle the cream.
47. - Season with salt and pepper to taste.
49. **7. Garnish and Serve:**
50. - Ladle the stew into bowls, garnishing each serving with chopped fresh parsley.
51. - Optionally, serve with a slice of lemon on the side for squeezing over the top.
53. ### Tips:
54. - For an extra layer of flavor, consider using clam broth instead of chicken to enhance the seafood taste.
55. - Ensure your scallops are cleaned properly; a quick rinse followed by patting dry can be done in a paper towel.
56. - Adjust cooking times if you prefer your vegetables more or less cooked.
