Corn And Crab Chowder Recipe


Corn And Crab Chowder Recipe
Add Step-by-Step Photos

I love chowders, and I made this one fairly low-fat by using fat-free half-and-half, and fat-free chicken stock. If you don't need to watch your fat intake, you can make it with the full-fat versions. It's a delicious, easy chowder either way!

Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 ribs celery, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 small red bell pepper, seeded and diced (optional - I have never used this)
  • 2 teaspoons garlic salt
  • 2 teaspoons Old Bay seafood seasoning
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • if you can buy Tastefully Simple products where you live, add a heaping tablespoon of Onion Onion
  • 3 tablespoons flour (one or two tablespoons more if you like a thick chowder)
  • 2 cups fat-free chicken broth (I prefer to use chicken stock if I can find it, or have it on hand)
  • 1 quart fat-free half-and-half
  • 1 heaping tablespoon chicken base
  • 3 cups frozen corn (not canned corn)
  • 8 ounces cooked lump crabmeat (use the best quality you can find)

Directions
  1. Heat oil and butter in a deep pot; add veggies and sauté for 1 minute.
  2. Add seasonings to pot, and continue to sauté for 5 minutes.
  3. Sprinkle flour over cooked veggies and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  4. Slowly stir in broth and half-and-half and chicken base.
  5. Bring chowder to a very gentle simmer.
  6. Add corn and crab, heating very gently (do not boil) until all ingredients are heated through.
  7. Add more seasoning, if desired, to taste.
  8. NOTE: If desired, add 2 cups cooked, diced potatoes to chowder when you add corn and crab.
