Technique to learn

Chowder Base Reduction

Simmering root vegetables in seasoned broth before finishing with dairy and seafood to create a naturally velvety broth texture.

Instructions

Step 1: Heat the vegetable oil in a heavy Dutch oven or soup pot over medium heat.
Add the diced yellow onion and cook for 5 minutes until soft and translucent.

Step 3: Stir in the Cajun seasoning and diced russet potato cubes, coating them in the oil and spices for 1 minute.

Step 4: Pour in the halal chicken broth, bring to a gentle boil, then lower the heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for 10 to 12 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 5: Add the sweet corn kernels and heavy cream to the pot, stirring well to combine, and simmer for 3 minutes.

Step 6: Stir in the peeled cooked crawfish tails and simmer gently for 3 to 4 minutes just until heated through.

Cooking tips

Do not boil after adding the heavy cream to prevent the soup cream from separating.
Crawfish tails are pre-cooked, so add them at the very end to maintain their tender texture.
