This creamy and flavorful crab and corn chowder is the perfect comfort food for seafood lovers.
Ingredients - Serves 6
- Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish)
- Salt and pepper - To taste
- Old bay seasoning - 1 teaspoon
- Crab meat - 1 pound, cooked and flaked
- Heavy cream - 1 cup
- Chicken broth - 4 cups
- Corn kernels - 2 cups, fresh or frozen
- Potatoes - 2 medium, peeled and diced
- Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
- Celery - 2 stalks, diced
- Onion - 1 medium, diced
- Butter - 2 tablespoons
Let's Get Started
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the diced onion, celery, and minced garlic. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the diced potatoes, corn kernels, and chicken broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, puree about half of the soup until smooth. This will help thicken the chowder.
- Return the pureed soup to the pot and stir in the heavy cream, crab meat, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until heated through.
- Serve the crab and corn chowder hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
- Enjoy!
