Potato Crab Chowder

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 freshly baked bread – the perfect dinner on a cold rainy night.
