Imitation Crab and Corn Chowder

Instructions

1. 1

   Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes.

2. 2

   Finely chop the onion and celery.

3. 3

   In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and celery, and cook until they are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Sprinkle the flour over the cooked vegetables and stir to combine. Cook for another 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

   Gradually add the chicken or vegetable broth to the pot, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

6. 6

   Add the diced potatoes to the pot and simmer until they are tender, about 15 minutes.

7. 7

   Stir in the corn kernels and Old Bay seasoning, and continue to simmer for another 5 minutes.

8. 8

   Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Allow the chowder to warm through without boiling.
