Chilled Corn and Crab Chowder

"From "Jane Brody's Good Seafood Book", 1994. You can substitute surimi in place of crab if you like, but the real thing is so much better. Frozen corn may be used instead of fresh. Needless to say, This is best made in the end of summer, when all the major ingredients are in season and at the peak of their flavor. Make a meal of it with some hearty bread and a garden salad. Cooking time does not include chilling the soup."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>This site has gotten so horribly bad over the past couple of years, I have stopped using it to manage my recipes and have gone over to using another one, which I have been forbidden to mention on Food.com. It's no secret that there are competitors; send me a message if you are in the same boat and would like to know. For now, I only frequent a few of the forums and that's it. The Titanic has sailed!</p>
