Ingredients
- 12 oz Lump crabmeat
- 3 cups Corn kernels
- 1 Yellow onion
- 1 rib Celery
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 3 tbsp Butter
- 3 tbsp Flour
- 3 cups Seafood stock
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
- 2 tbsp Sherry
- 2 tbsp Chives
Steps
- Soften the onion, celery, and garlic in butter over medium heat for 7 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook 3 minutes to a pale roux.
- Whisk in the seafood stock gradually until smooth, then add the corn and Cajun seasoning. Simmer 15 minutes until the corn is tender.
- Blend one third of the soup and return it to the pot for body, keeping plenty of texture. Stir in the cream and sherry.
- Fold in the crabmeat gently and simmer 5 minutes to heat through. Try not to break up the lumps — they are the luxury here.
- Ladle into warm bowls, finish with chives, and serve with crusty bread for the last spoonfuls.
