Corn and crab evoke the flavors of a summer. This chilled soup will refresh you on a muggy August night. Pair it with a crisp salad dressed lightly with a simple vinaigrette to add crunch and flavor contrast to the meal.
Tip: Fresh corn will taste best in this recipe, but canned and frozen will also work.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. cooked king crab legs
- 6 cups corn
- 4½ cups water
- ⅛ tsp. ground red pepper
- 1 cup 2% milk
- ¼ cup chopped fresh chives
- ½ tsp. black pepper
Directions
- Cut shells off crab with kitchen shears. Reserve shells. Coarsely chop crabmeat and chill.
- Combine shells, corn, water, and ground red pepper in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until corn is very tender (20 minutes). Discard shells.
- Using an immersion blender or working in small batches in a standard blender with a clean kitchen towel placed loosely over the open vent hole, puree corn mixture.
- Press pureed corn mixture through a fine sieve over a bowl. Reserve the liquid and discard the solids.
- Stir in milk, chives, and black pepper. Refrigerate to chill (2 hours). Top with chilled crabmeat.
