Incredible Chowder! My husband and I recently went out to supper at a fine restaurant and I ordered the crab chowder. Between the two of us, we were unable to finish it. Neither of us liked it. We should have stayed home and enjoyed this wonderful recipe instead of spending so much money on an evening out!! This is a fantastic recipe! I halved it for the two of us, altered the amounts of chives and parsley because I used dried and also used 1 pound of Phillips lump crabmeat. I am thinking of contacting the restaurant we where we dined and telling them they are using the wrong recipe!! Thanks so much, Molly!! With this recipe, I feel I have been given a real gift!! I know I will be using this often.
