I've had a thing for chowder lately. I had a couple bowls of it in New England when we were there for vacation, and it was so delicious. I thought this one sounded interesting and decided to give it a show. You can find the original on myrecipes. Here goes:
Chunky Potato Crab Chowder
6 servings - 265 calories each
Ingredients
2 T. butter
1 c. chopped onion
1 cloved garlic, minced
3 1/2 c. cubed red potatoes
3 T. flour
2 1/2 c. milk
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1 - 14.5 oz. can corn
1 - 14 oz. can chicken broth
8 oz. lump crab meat, shell pieces removed
Salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning to taste
Directions
Saute onion and garlic in butter for 4 minutes. Add potatoes and saute for 1 minute. Add flour and saute for another minute. Stir in milk, seasonings, corn, and broth. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently. Reduce temperature, cover, and continue to simmer another 20 minutes until potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally. Add crab and cook another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Recipe Recap
Eh...this was alright. I think I liked the concept better than the end result. And it doesn't help much that I had delicious chowder in Maine just a week before this...that's what I really wanted, afterall. The taste was fine, the texture was a little off, it was just okay. I probably won't be making it again, at any rate. Better luck next month, I suppose!
