INSTRUCTIONS
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 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. From <The Frugal Gourmet Cooks American>. Downloaded from Glen's MM Recipe Archive, http://www.erols.com/hosey.
