Crawfish Chowder

By á-10847

This soup is very creamy and satisfying. Serve it with cornbread or crusty French bread." TIPS: or use crawfish tail meat that you can get in the frozen seafood section at Walmart. Also made this dish with shrimp and crabmeat. I also add about 2 large red potatoes, parboiled and cut in small pieces + about ½ cup dry sherry at the end! — STKA
