CHILLED CORN AND CRAB CHOWDER
From "Jane Brody's Good Seafood Book", 1994. You can substitute surimi in place of crab if you like, but the real thing is so much better. Frozen corn may be used instead of fresh. Needless to say, This is best made in the end of summer, when all the major ingredients are in season and at the peak of their flavor. Make a meal of it with some hearty bread and a garden salad. Cooking time does not include chilling the soup.

- Add the broth, bay leaf, corn, and ground pepper. Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to simmer for 20minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and discard the bay leaf. Set the mixture aside to cool until it is lukewarm.

Add the crab meat or surimi, stirring the chowder gently, then add the 2 tablespoons of cilantro or parsley. Chill the soup until serving time. Serve garnished with additional cilantro or parsley.
