Prep Ingredients: Begin by gathering your ingredients. For this recipe, you’ll need corn, green onion, half-and-half cream, black pepper, butter, and crab meat.

Blend: Place the corn, chopped green onion, and half-and-half cream in a food processor. Pulse for a second or two, just until the onion is finely chopped. You want to maintain some texture in the soup, so avoid over-blending.

Cook: Transfer the blended mixture into a saucepan. Add in the canned crab meat and a pinch of black pepper. Stir in the butter for an added richness.
-
Simmer: Set the saucepan over low heat and let the soup gently simmer for 5 to 10 minutes. This allows all the flavors to meld together beautifully.
-

Tips:
- Fresh is Best: While canned crab meat works perfectly fine for this recipe, if you have access to fresh crab meat, don’t hesitate to use it. The flavor will be even more exceptional!
- Texture Matters: Be mindful not to over-blend the soup mixture. A few quick pulses are all you need to incorporate the ingredients while still maintaining a chunky texture.
- Adjust Seasoning: Feel free to adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences. Add more black pepper for a spicy kick or a dash of Cajun seasoning for an extra flavor boost.
- Serve with Love: Serve this soup alongside some crusty bread or a simple salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
