Bobby Flay Crab Corn Chowder Recipe

When you think of a delicious soup that works great for any season, Bobby Flay's Crab Corn Chowder has to be on our mind!
This recipe combines fresh ingredients like sweet corn and white crabmeat for a rich and comforting bowl.
I always recommend using fresh corn if possible—it adds a burst of natural sweetness that complements the delicate flavor of the crab beautifully.
What I love most is the addition of crème fraîche, which brings a appealing creaminess to the chowder without overpowering the other flavors.
Don't forget to sprinkle some chives on top for that perfect finishing touch!
