Crab Chowder
This homemade Crab Chowder is a rich and creamy thick soup, perfect for lunch or dinner with some warm bread alongside.
You can use fresh whole crab from the grocery store or commercially canned crab works fine too.
Start by frying bacon, then add garlic, butter, celery and onion to the frypan.
Once cooked, sprinkle in flour and stir till it starts to thicken before adding milk.

Using another frypan or saucepan, add diced potatoes, then barely cover them with water. Cook until soft, saving the potato water.
Add cooked potatoes, water and all, to the bacon, flour and milk mixture.
Add clean crab meat and bay leaves. Season with salt and pepper.
Let simmer for 30 minutes and remove bay leaves before serving.
