Chepstow Castle Crab And Corn Chowder

Ingredients

  • 1 lb lump crab meat
  • 4 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, and cook until softened.
  2. Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic, and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

  4. Once the chowder is simmering, add the lump crab meat and heavy cream. Stir gently to combine, and let the chowder simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until it has thickened slightly.
  5. Season the chowder with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
