How to cook deliciously - Corn-and-Crabmeat Soup

1. Stage

In a blender or food processor, combine the corn kernels and 2 cups of the broth. Pulse to a coarse puree.

2. Stage

In a large pot, melt the butter over moderately low heat. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes.

3. Stage

Add the corn puree, the wine, the remaining 2 cups of broth and the salt to the pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the corn is tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the milk and bring just to a simmer. Stir in the crabmeat and chives.

4. Stage

Wine Recommendation: The complex flavors of crab blend beautifully with those of chardonnay. White burgundies, made from chardonnay, have a more mineral taste and are less fruity than their American counterparts. Choose a Mâcon-Villages or Saint-Véran for a great match here.
