Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 cups Corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
• 4 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 8 ounces Fresh crab meat
• 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, stirring constantly to create a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 4

Slowly pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 5

Add the corn kernels to the pot and let it cook for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 6

Using an immersion blender (or a regular blender in batches), blend the soup until about half the mixture is smooth, leaving some corn kernels intact for texture.

Step 7

Return the soup to a low simmer and stir in the heavy cream, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

Step 8

Carefully fold in the fresh crab meat, being gentle so as not to break it apart too much. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the crab is heated through.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. If the soup is too thick for your liking, add a splash of broth or cream to thin it out.

Step 10

Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm with crusty bread or oyster crackers.
