My husband loves this chowder, so while at Costco this week I saw a container of lump crab and decided to make two of his favorite meals. One cup for chowder and one cup for crab melts (link to crab melt recipe). This made great lunch meals for us this week. Since we are in the Autumn months now they are quick and easy recipes to make and enjoy.
Corn and Crab Chowder
This chowder is so creamy and full of flavor. Can be served with a favorite cracker.
Ingredients
Method
- Cut bacon into strips and cook in a large pot slowly until golden brown.
- Drain on paper towels. Put half of the bacon aside for chowder toppings when you serve.
- After pouring off bacon fat from pot, saute onion and celery in the same pot with a tablespoon of bacon fat and butter over medium heat
- Add half of the bacon pieces and all of the other ingredients except crab and heavy cream. Simmer for about 20 minutes stirring occasionally.
- Add crab and heavy cream and simmer about 5 minutes more.
- Serve with topping of your choice. Enjoy!

From,
I like the look of your blog! The blue jean background is fun and pretty. And the corn and crab chowder looks delicious. I appreciate the pictures you’ve added to go along with each step.
Comforting, easy, and perfect for these chilly fall days! Crab can be so pricy sometimes, so I tend to avoid it, but that’s a good idea grabbing it at Costco to use in other meals. 🙂
Yes!! I love a good chowder recipe. Thank you!
