Crab and Corn Chowder
I started cooking at a local restaurant when I was 16 years old. This creamy chowder was one of the soups we made. The recipe had been passed from cook to cook— but had never been written down, until now!
Ingredients
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 5 tablespoons butter
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
