Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
• 2 Celery stalks, finely diced
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 8 ounces Crimini mushrooms, sliced
• 1 teaspoon Thyme, fresh or dried

• 4 cups Chicken or seafood stock
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 large Russet potato, peeled and diced
• 1 pound Cooked Dungeness crab meat
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and celery, cooking for 5-7 minutes until they become tender and translucent.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the pot. Cook for another 5 minutes until the mushrooms are lightly browned and softened.

Step 4

Stir in the thyme and sprinkle the flour over the vegetable mixture. Cook for 2-3 minutes to remove the raw taste of the flour, stirring constantly.

Step 5

Gradually pour the chicken or seafood stock into the pot, stirring to combine and prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 6

Add the diced potato to the pot and cook for 15-20 minutes until the potato pieces are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 7

Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Let the chowder simmer gently without boiling for 5 minutes.

Step 8

Fold in the cooked Dungeness crab meat, gently stirring to combine everything. Allow the chowder to heat through for another 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Season the chowder with salt and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 10

Ladle the chowder into bowls and garnish each serving with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 11

Serve hot with crusty bread or oyster crackers for a satisfying meal.
