3 cups diced yellow onion
1/2 cup diced celery
1/4 cup diced green pepper
1 1/2 tsp. granulated garlic
1 1/2 tsp. dry thyme
1/2 tsp. white pepper
1/4 tsp. red pepper

1 cup heavy cream
1 cup half and half
3 – 15 oz. cans whole kernel corn, drained
1 oz. Worcestershire sauce
1 lb. jumbo lump crabmeat (picked clean of shells)
Chives or green onions
Melt 1/4 lb. of unsalted butter in a 5 quart pot. Lightly sauté onion, celery, and green pepper. Add garlic, thyme, white pepper, red pepper, wine and chicken base. Lightly sauté ingredients over medium heat until soft and tender. After vegetables have cooked down, add water and bring to a steady simmer for 12-15 minutes. While soup is simmering, make a blond roux by melting 2 sticks of unsalted butter in a saucepan. Whisk in the all-purpose flour and cook for 5-6 minutes. Remove soup from heat to add hot roux.

Hi,
This is an improvised recipe. Simple, it will work.
2 tablespoon olive oil.
Finely chopped onion 1.
2 small sized crabs, halved, for making the puree.
3 tablespoon butter
8oz crab meat, precooked.
8oz corn kernels.
3cups stock, preferably fish.
1 tablespoon butter
4oz corn flour
1.5 cups milk
hot pepper sauce
chopped thyme
4oz light cream
1/4 teaspoon crushed peppercorns
Chopped and roasted green peppers for garnishing - 1

Note - Halved crabs are added in the recipe to improve the taste. This should work well without that also.

1. Heat the olive oil in a heavy pan, add the onions and saute the onions until softened, in low heat.
2. Add the crab meat, corn and thyme to the onions, cook for 3-4 minutes and remove from the heat.
3. Cook the halved crabs with a little salt and half the crushed peppercorns in a covered saucepan with 4cups water, until the crab shell is tender.
4. Melt the butter in a pan, add the flour and stir it until golden in low flame. Make sure it is not burnt. Add the fish stock and milk, bring to boil and cook for 7-8 minutes, stirring regularly. Add the cooked halved crabs and its stock from step 3 into this. Stir well, cook for 6-8 minutes in low fire. Remove the crab shells. Add the sauteed crab meat from step 2 into this. Stir well and cook it in low heat for 5 minutes. Remove from heat, cool it. Puree half of this mixture in a blender.
5. Add the puree to the rest of the mixture remaining in the pan and stir it well. Add hot pepper sauce and salt to taste.
Add cream and stir to blend well. Heat the soup to boil, stirring it and then reduce the heat and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add crushed peppercorns to taste.
