Potato Crab Chowder
I got three different meals out of one can of crab - I love that! For the last crab recipe I decided to make a
Cooking Light Potato Crab Chowder I found on
Myrecipes. It looked hearty, filling, and delicious. It was quick and simple to make and tasted wonderful. The crab made this chowder rich and delicious and I loved the chunky potatoes with the creamy and sweet corn. I served this chowder with fresh baked bread - the perfect dinner on a cold rainy night.
