This elegant corn and crab chowder is a sophisticated take on a coastal classic, offering a lighter yet deeply satisfying alternative to heavier cream-based soups. By blending sweet petite corn with low-fat milk and savoury clam juice, the base achieves a velvety consistency without the need for heavy cream. The addition of fresh ginger and lemon juice provides a bright, aromatic lift that perfectly complements the delicate sweetness of the seafood.

As a high-protein dish, this soup makes for a nutritious midweek supper or an impressive starter for a dinner party. The contrast between the smooth, golden puree and the buttery crab garnish ensures every spoonful is packed with texture and flavour. Serve it simply with a slice of crusty wholemeal bread or a light seasonal salad for a well-balanced and healthy meal.
