Title: Seafood and corn chowder-Christmas Eve tradition
Post by: KyNola on December 19, 2010, 08:16:57 AM
This is a tradition at our house on Christmas Eve.  Be warned, this is not health conscious and it makes a lot so you could cut it in half but once you taste it, you won't want to.

3 tbsps margarine or butter
1 medium onion chopped
2 cans each of cream of mushroom, celery and potato soups
1 quart of half and half
1 cup chicken broth or stock
2 tsps liquid crab boil
2 tbsps Worchestershire sauce
24 ounces of your favorite seafood(shrimp, crab meat, etc)  We use crawfish tails because we like 'em
2 cans of Niblets corn
Cajun seasoning mix to taste.  Soileau's or Tony Chacere's would work!

In a large pot, saute the onions in the melted margarine or butter.  Combine all of the other ingredients in the pot with the onions.  Stir together and heat through.  That's all there is to it.

That soup sound delicious KyNola.  We often have nothing but soup for dinner with some bread and I'm always looking for new recipes.  Thanks for sharing.  Will be trying this recipe  ;D

3 tbsps margarine or butter
1 medium onion chopped and some celery
2 cans each of cream of mushroom, celery and potato soups
1 quart of half and half
1 cup chicken broth or stock Used Clam Base instead of Chicken Broth
2 tsps liquid crab boil Used Old Bay Seasoning
2 tbsps Worchestershire sauce
24 ounces of your favorite seafood(shrimp, crab meat, etc)  We use crawfish tails because we like 'em Used shrimp
2 cans of Niblets corn
Cajun seasoning mix to taste.  Soileau's or Tony Chacere's would work! Used Veron's Cajun Seasoning I got from CRG and spiced it up with some Soileau's I got from Squirtthecat

In a large pot, saute the onions in the melted margarine or butter.  Combine all of the other ingredients in the pot with the onions.  Stir together and heat through.  That's all there is to it.

Couldn't figure out what to fix for dinner cause I was still in a wrong frame of mind after watching my Rams (been a fan for 51 years now) play like dirt again so I decided to fix me a pot of your traditional soup with a few modifications cause I didn't have all the correct ingredients.  Cut the recipe in half cause there's just SWMBO and I  :)

It was delicious ... I can see myself using this as a base for other soups like Clam/fish/seafood Chowder.  I think dicing up some taters in there would be a great addition.  I do like the corn in it.

Here's what I had on hand

That's not nice of ya'll.  That stuff looks killer.  But going in for some of my usual blood work this morning and am fasting - so everything looks great to me right now.  After 9:45 this morning I'll take a bowl of that!
