This is the BEST Crab chowder I have ever eaten!!!!! I couldn't find clam broth, so I used the same amount of chicken stock. I cut the recipe in half, because I didn't want to waste crab meat if the recipe wasn't good. After tasting the chowder, I wish I would have made the full amount! It was DELICIOUS!!!!

I originally thought this recipe was just going to be "OK", but wanted to make it because I had all the ingredients on hand. Boy, was I glad I did! This recipe was awesome. I had to cut it in half because I only had 1 cup of clam broth and cream. I did use imitation crab instead of lump also. To me it was still great. The one thing I would do differently next time is puree the chowder a little to make it less chunky and then add the crab. This one's a keeper. Awesome recipe! Thanks for sharing.

5 Stars for ease of preparation (what's a little chopping?)and FLAVOR GALORE! I really think there's a difference between real crab and imitation..but at $5/lb I couldn't afford to do it all real - so i split the difference and did 1lb fresh crab and 1lb imitation -no one but me knew (not even my hubby who HATES imitation crab). I used frozen corn instead of cob.. didn't have enough clam juice and substituted 1 c. chicken stock instead. Also, opted to add an additional cup. The two chipotles were perfect for my family and friends. I'll remember to get more clam juice next time, as I think it probably adds to the flavor of the dish. Thanks Rita - Fantastic recipe
