A delightful and creamy chowder featuring the sweetness of corn and the richness of crab, perfect for a cozy meal.
Heat the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Ensure the butter doesn't brown; it should just melt and become fragrant.
Add the chopped green onions and minced garlic to the saucepan and sauté until fragrant and tender.
Stir constantly to prevent the garlic from burning, which can make it bitter.
Stir in the milk and bring to a gentle simmer.
Use a whisk to ensure the milk is evenly mixed and doesn't scald.
Add the corn and crab meat, stirring gently to combine.
Fold the ingredients gently to keep the crab meat intact for better texture.
Add the cream cheese in small chunks, stirring until fully melted and the chowder is creamy.
Cut the cream cheese into smaller pieces to help it melt faster and more evenly.
Serve the chowder hot, garnished with additional chopped green onions if desired.
Serve with a side of crusty bread to soak up the delicious chowder.
