Crab and Corn Chowder

This is a very easy soup I came up with that tastes great for a fall dinner! (I needed soup for dinner--I had just been to the dentist!) I use whole goat's milk instead of cream, but they have the same quality (and not many people have goat's milk!) Update: As a shortcut, I often use a bag of Simply Potatoes Diced Potatoes and Onion instead of the potato and onion--no cutting or extra time on the onion needed!
