For a thicker, more traditional chowder, mash some of the potatoes against the side of the pot during the simmering process. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper and Fresno chile pepper to suit your spice preference. Fresh tarragon adds a bright, anise-like flavor that complements the scallops beautifully. If unavailable, consider using a pinch of dried tarragon, but fresh is highly recommended.
