CREAM OF CRAWFISH BOIL SOUP



Cream of Crawfish Boil Soup image

I just invented this tonight, after getting "stuck" with a couple of pounds of crawfish from a crawfish boil. It's so good I wanted to hop around the kitchen singing. This recipe is for crawfish boil leftovers; it won't be the same otherwise. You'll need two pounds of whole crawfish plus the corn, potatoes, etc, that were boiled with them. (My two-pound package contained two short corns on the cob, four little new potatoes, and two pounds of whole crawfish.) You can use whatever proportions you like, and don't let anybody tell you otherwise.

Time 25m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons flour
1 (49 ounce) can chicken broth (I used fat-free to make up for all the butter)
crawfish tail, peeled (see note above for quantity)
2 ears corn, cut off the cob
4 new potatoes
1/2 pint half-and-half

Steps:

  • Peel the crawfish, cut the corn off the cob, and set aside with the potatoes.
  • In a soup pot, saute the flour in butter, but do not brown it.
  • Pour in the chicken stock all at once, stirring with a whisk until blended. Don't worry if there's a few lumps because you'll get them with a stick blender later. Bring to a simmer.
  • Break up the potatoes with your fingers into the pot and add most of the crawfish tails and corn as well. Save a handful of crawfish and corn to add later. Bring the pot back up to a simmer.
  • Use a stick blender to blend the soup until it is mostly smooth. BE CAREFUL not to spatter hot soup on yourself!
  • Add the half and half and the remainder of the crawfish tails and corn. Stir well while heating for about five minutes more, then you're ready to serve.

CRAWFISH (SHRIMP) AND CORN SOUP



Crawfish (Shrimp) and Corn Soup image

Hubby had this soup in New Orleans when we were visiting friends. He loved it, and asked for the recipe. He has made it several times since then, usually when he is "on his own" for dinner (its very easy to prepare). Being a vegetarian--I've never tried it, so I don't have an opinion.

CRAWFISH MIRLITON (CHAYOTE) SOUP



Crawfish Mirliton (Chayote) Soup image

My Cajun mother makes a wonderful mirliton casserole for the holidays that's always a hit. I had a craving for mirliton and crawfish one day, and pieced together this soup from several recipes and a few traditional Cajun cooking methods. Some people prefer to peel and pit mirliton before using them, but the whole fruit is edible. Crawfish tails are usually mostly cooked before being peeled and bagged, but it's best to be on the safe side. Sauteing them first makes sure that they are fully cooked and flavors the butter for the rest of the soup.
