Directions:
Heat oil in heavy saucepan over low heat.
Add onions and leeks and saute until tender
Add garlic, tomatoes, peppers, jerky and oregano and sauté until tomatoes are soft, add the dry spices and brown sugar and continue to cook for about a minute.
Remove the vegetable and jerky mixture from the pan and deglaze with the white wine.
Add in the clam juice and return to a simmer.
Add the clams and mussels and cover and stream until shellfish is done, between 5-8 minutes.
Remove shellfish from broth and discard any unopened ones.
Add in the shrimp and scallops and simmer for about 3-4 minutes until opaque, remove the shrimp and scallops.
Add in the V8 juice to the broth and the white beans and return to a simmer.
Return all the seafood and the jerky vegetable mixture to the broth and simmer on very low heat for about 5 minutes.
In a small dish blend the cold water and arrowroot or cornstarch to make a slurry, add the slurry into the simmering bean mixture and cook on low heat for about a minute until the mixture thickens.
For a thicker chili, you can add additional slurry to get to the consistency you want.
