How to Make Crawfish Chowder
- Place chicken broth in a large stock pot (I use a 7 quart cast iron dutch oven) over medium high heat. Add potatoes, carrots, and corn.
- In a large skillet also over medium high heat, Thaw crawfish and frozen peppers and onions. Once thawed, turn off heat and set skillet to the side. There will also be a lot of liquid in the skillet, save this as well!
- After carrots and potatoes have been cooked until tender, add the crawfish and peppers and onions with the liquid from the skillet to the stock pot. Stir well.
- Add the Turnip greens, Parsley and Old Bay seasoning and bring to a gentle boil. Turn heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Pour in cream and potato flakes. Stir well. Simmer five to ten minutes more. Serve hot with a hearty bread. Leftovers are even better the next day!
