Don Morrison's Crab and Corn Chowder

YUM! YUM! YUM!

If time permits I like to catch '207' on WCSH TV 6 out of Portland which airs at 7:00 p.m. Great local flavors for the arts, entertainment, food, areas of interest, etc.
Well one night a while back I happen to watch when Don Morrison was on making his Crab and Corn Chowder. I am so glad I watched that evening! We here in Maine love to have Chowders as well as stews and soups in the long cold winter months....but mostly Chowders. I love chowder! I love all types of seafood chowders and I really enjoy a good corn chowder as well. I never would have thought to combine the two until now. This is wicked good! Do yourself a favor and make this chowder! If you go to the WCSH Website and look under the '207' section you can even find the video of Don Making this. Enjoy!!
