Ray's Crab and Corn Chowder submitted by Mom Johnson
Description
Recipe is from Ray's Boathouse restaurant in Seattle where we had a wonderful dinner with Rick's sister and her husband before Christmas. I added some giant fresh scallops to this recipe and used the tiny white corn.

Directions
Melt butter in a 5 quart stockpot over medium heat. Add onions and saute until translucent. Add red and green peppers. Mix in flour and stir to make a roux. Stir in milk, corn, potatoes and thyme and bring to a boil. Add salt and pepper. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are soft, approximately 15-20 minutes. Add crabmeat and cream. Garnish with chopped chives.
