Crawfish Boil Chowder image

I made this up after looking at all the leftover corn and potatoes (and crawfish) from our last crawfish boil. The leftovers just screamed "USE US!" so I did. I usually have leftover Andouille, onion, garlic, corn, and potatoes in addition to the crawfish. If I have other stuff leftover, like mushrooms, I throw that in the stock. The good thing is, if you had anybody worth his salt actually doing the boiling, all that residual spice from the boil will come out in the chowder, so you shouldn't have to season at all!

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my chowder turned out really watery. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

This chowder was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably won't make it again.

I was disappointed with this chowder. The broth was bland and the crawfish were overcooked. I won't be making this recipe again.
