Jenn’s Mom’s Corn and Crab Soup

Bev's Corn and Crab soup 

Ingredients:

She used half lump crabmeat and half imitation crab (it's cheaper) but you can use all lump or all imitation. It's great no matter what way you do it. 

1lb lump crab
1 large pack of imitation crab
1 stick of butter and 2 tablespoons 
4 tablespoons of flour
Large Guidry's creole seasoning (the Trinity) I usually end up using 2/3 of the container. 
3-4 cans of fiesta or mexi corn
1 quart half n half
1/2 to whole 1/2 gallon of milk (whole)

Directions:

Cook the Guidry's mix over medium heat in a fry pan with the 2 tablespoons of butter. Season. Turn it off

In a large Dutch oven or soup pot, Melt the butter over med/high heat
Slowly add flour stirring constantly.
When it thickens and is smooth add the half n half. Then some milk. I add a little salt and pepper then let it simmer but not boil. Add the cans of corn and the Guidry's. Again let it blend and simmer.
While that's happening, break up or cut the imitation crab in bite size pieces. Add to the soup. Let it get hot. 
Transfer several cups to a blender. Blend and add back to the soup. This gives it different levels of thickness and makes it not so chunky. Add the lump crab and stir. Simmer for a bit. Then when it is hot and seasoned to your liking, turn it off. Let it sit about 15 minutes and then serve with chopped scallion, cheese, sour cream or plain (the way I like it) Enjoy. Xo

Creamy Chicken Pot Pie (No peas or Carrots 😳)

Creamy Chicken Pot Pie *Makes 1-3 Pies* I love a good chicken pot pie. Traditionally they aren’t particularly creamy and they usually involve a bag of frozen peas & carrot mix. However, Julie doesn’t eat either so I subbed the two veggies she does eat - green beans and corn. You can use fresh or frozen veggies. I used the the steamer bags that came with garlic butter in the bag and I used fresh local corn cobs, boiled with kernels cut. They are crisp and sweet! I added cream and cream cheese to the filling to make it extra savory for my picky eaters! I usually make & bake 1 pie, and freeze the rest of the filling for another day in a freezer bag Ingredients: (1) Rotisserie chicken picked and chopped. Place in large bowl. (1) bag green bean steamer bag w seasoning - cooked and chopped (1) bag little potatoes steamer bag w seasoning cooked and chopped (1) Vidalia onion chopped (1) yellow bell pepper chopped (2) stalks celery chopped (2) cloves garlic chopped (1) Handful fresh pou...
