Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 4 cups chicken or vegetable stock
• 2 medium golden potatoes, diced into small cubes
• 2 cups frozen or fresh corn kernels
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 8 ounces lump crab meat or canned tuna, drained
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and celery, and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to combine, cooking for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 4

Gradually pour in the chicken or vegetable stock while whisking constantly to avoid lumps.

Step 5

Add the diced potatoes to the pot and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low and let simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 6

Stir in the corn and heavy cream, and continue to cook for another 5 minutes.

Step 7

Gently fold in the crab meat or tuna, being careful not to break it up too much.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove the pot from the heat and let the chowder sit for a minute to thicken slightly.

Step 10

Ladle the chowder into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm with crusty bread or crackers.
