  • 1 Yellow Onion, Diced
  • 3 Celery Stalks, Diced
  • 2 Carrots, Diced
  • 3 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 2 cups Diced Russet Potatoes

  • 1 cup Half-and-half
  • 1/2 teaspoons Creole Seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoons Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoons Black Pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoons Dried Thyme
  • 10 ounces, weight Frozen Corn
  • 2 cups Crawfish Tail Meat

Directions

  1. 1
    Melt the butter over medium high heat in a large pot. Whisk in 1/4 cup flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  2. 2
    Add the onion, celery and carrots and cook for 2 minutes, whisking constantly. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute.
  3. 3
    Stir in the diced potatoes, chicken broth, half-and-half, all of the seasonings and corn. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. 4
    While the soup cooks, rinse the crawfish tail meat and pick through carefully, removing any veins or fatty, unappetizing pieces.
  5. 5
    After 20 minutes, thicken the soup by scooping out 3/4 cup of soup and pouring it into a medium bowl. Whisk in the remaining 2/3 cup flour to the soup you removed as best as you can. Pour that mixture back into the soup and whisk thoroughly.
  6. 6
    Add the crawfish and let cook for 5 minutes to warm the crawfish and to let the soup thicken. Serve immediately.
