Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 medium, diced Yellow onion
• 2 diced Celery stalks
• 2 minced Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 4 cups Chicken or seafood stock
• 1 large, peeled and diced Russet potato
• 2 cups Frozen or canned corn kernels
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 pound Cooked crab meat
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped (plus more for garnish) Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.

Step 5

Gradually pour in the chicken or seafood stock, stirring continuously to prevent lumps.

Step 6

Add the diced potato and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 10 minutes or until the potato is tender.

Step 7

Stir in the corn kernels, heavy cream, and cooked crab meat. Let the chowder simmer for an additional 5 minutes to heat through.

Step 8

Season with paprika, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 9

Stir in the chopped parsley just before serving.

Step 10

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