Description

This delicious corn and crab chowder is a perfect comfort food for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 quart chicken stock
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 32 ounces fresh or frozen corn
  • 2 garlic cloves (chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 (6 oz) can lump crabmeat (drained)
  • 1 cup half-and-half or heavy cream
  • 1 avocado (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Put the chicken stock, butter, onion, corn, garlic, salt, cayenne pepper and crabmeat in a 4 quart slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or for 8 hours on low.
  2. If you want a thicker soup, pulse a handheld blender a few times or scoop out a cup and blend in a blender or food processor (be careful – it’s hot!) and add back in.
  3. Stir in the half-and-half or cream before serving.
  4. Garnish with avocado.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For a spicier kick, adjust the cayenne pepper to taste.
