Crab Cake Chowder
Ingredients
· 1 lb. crab meat (I used claw meat instead of lump)
· 2 Tbsp. olive oil
· 1-1/2 cup onion, chopped
· 1-1/2 cup celery, chopped
· 1-1/4 cup bell peppers, chopped (any color, I used red and orange)
· 1 lb. Yukon gold potatoes, washed and chopped into a small dice
· 1-1/2 tsp. salt
· 1/2 tsp. fresh ground black pepper
· 1/4 tsp. cayenne
· 2 tsp. Old Bay seasoning
· 2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
· 1/4 cup heavy cream
· 2 cups 2% milk
· 3 Tbsp. flour
· 4 cups chicken stock
· 1/2 cup white wine
For the Topping
· 2 Tbsp. butter
· 1 cup panko bread crumbs
· 1 Tbsp. fresh thyme, chopped
· 1/4 tsp. Old Bay seasoning
Instructions
Add the olive oil to a large pot over medium heat.
Add in the potatoes, onion, celery and bell peppers and stir.
Season with salt, pepper, cayenne and the Old Bay.
Let cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes until the potatoes begin to get soft.
Carefully pour in the wine and let it cook down for a minute.
Next add in the chicken stock and the Worcestershire sauce, stir and let simmer with the lid partially covered for 20 minutes.
In a large bowl or measuring cup, combine the milk and the cream.
Whisk the flour into the milk and cream mixture until it's well combined and there are no lumps.
After the 20 minutes are up, remove the lid from the pot and stir.
Slowly pour in the milk and cream mixture, whisking as you go.
Bring the chowder back up to a boil and simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
While the soup is simmering, make the panko topping.
Melt the butter in a skillet and then add the panko breadcrumbs, stirring to combine them with all the butter.
Add in the fresh thyme and the Old Bay Seasoning and stir.
Let cook for about 5 minutes, stirring, until the breadcrumbs toast and get brown in color.
Remove to a bowl to cool.
To serve, add a couple of large ladles of chowder to a bowl and top with the crispy panko topping.
