I've used this one. I do substitute 1/2 and 1/2 for part of the milk as we like our chowder thicker. It kind of undoes the "cooking light" part of the recipe but it is so much yummier. :001_smile: I usually make it with fresh crab but I think canned would be fine.

Your post is making me hungry for cream of crab soup which is also a favorite at our house.

 

Happy cooking!

It was delicious. I had to tweak it, though. I added extra black pepper, salt, a few drops of hot sauce and cooking sherry. I didn't have quite enough potatoes, so I added some potato flakes. I had 6-ounce cans, so I used 12 ounces instead of 8 ounces of crab. I also used 2 cups of 1% milk and 1/2 c. half and half.

 

It was delicious served with a romaine, carrot, red cabbage and tomato salad and pears.

I'm glad you liked it.

I am a recipe tweaker, there is hardly anything I cook "by the book".
