Lemon Basil Crab Chowder

It was a cold night and my husband asked me to make something warm. Well, I had a package of imitation crab meat and I was going to make a salad with it. So after a quick change of plans I decided to just toss it in a pot and see what I could come up with. This was absolutely delicious and my kids loved it! I served it with baked fries but of course yummy sour dough bread would be a perfect side.


Lemon Basil Crab Chowder

  • 1 large package of flaked imitation crab meat (or real)
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 6-8 cups milk
  • 3 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup sliced green onions
  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
  • 1/2 stick butter
  • 1 1/2 - 2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • ground pepper
Heat large saucepan to medium high. Melt all of butter then add 1/4 cup of flour. Stir. Add 1 cup milk and stir. Add remaining flour and stir. Add remaining milk. Can add more flour to thicken. Add remaining ingredients and simmer on low for 10 minutes. Serve hot.
