• 4 1/2 cup(s) water
• 1/8 teaspoon(s) ground red pepper
• 1 cup(s) 2 % milk
• 1/4 cup(s) chopped fresh chives
• 1/2 teaspoon(s) freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

1. 1. Cut shells off crab with kitchen shears; reserve shells. Coarsely chop crabmeat; chill. Combine shells, corn, 4 1/2 cups water, and red pepper in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 20 minutes or until corn is very tender. Discard shells.
2. 2. Place half of corn mixture in blender. Remove center piece of blender lid (to allow steam to escape); secure blender lid on blender. Place a clean towel over opening in blender lid (to avoid splatters). Process until smooth. Press pureed corn mixture through a fine sieve over a bowl, reserving liquid; discard solids. Repeat procedure with remaining corn mixture. Stir in milk, chives, and black pepper. Chill 2 hours. Top with reserved crabmeat.
