Golden Crab Chowder--YUM!

  • Saute sweet onion, garlic, and celery (seasoned with salt, ground black pepper and curry powder) in a little butter--(thicken with a little flour)
  • Boiled cubed Yukon Gold Potatoes until mushy
  • Add chicken broth (~2 c.), milk (~1 c), and a little cream (I used 1/2 pint of whipping cream)--for thicker soup add some of the starchy water drained from the potatoes
  • Add Crab (or Krab--I used one package of immitation stuff)
  • Add the Potatoes (you could add more veggies--steamed cauliflour or corn would be good)
  • Simmer over low heat until flavors are mixed and veggies are very mushy

Yum. This experiment was a huge success. I was shopping hungry on a cold drizzly northwestern evening--stressed beyond belief and needing something warm and comforting. Yukon golds and Krab were on sale--so I quick thought up a soothing solution for my comfort cravings. The creamy curry flavor fit the bill. This soup is great for nights when you are ready to curl up after dinner in your pjs and read a book!
