 Directions

SERVES 8-10

Although this delicious soup is just perfect for a cold winter evening, I
made it one day in July and enjoyed it even in the summer heat. It seems
that we are getting back to making soup, a food product that our
forefathers and foremothers practically lived on.

Place the chicken stock in a 6-quart kettle and put it on to heat.

In a small frying pan saut”š the onion in the butter or oil just until
clear. Stir in the flour and cook for a moment, thus making a roux. Stir
the roux into the hot soup stock, stirring until the soup thickens a bit.

Add the potatoes and bay leaf and cook until the potatoes are tender.
Remove the bay leaf.

Add the half-and-half and the corn. Bring to a simmer and season to taste
with salt and pepper. I like a bit of extra pepper in this dish. Finally,
add the crawfish meat and heat for just a moment. Serve, garnished with the
parsley and sliced eggs.
