Roasted Poblano Crab Chowder

I love making soups, stews and chowders. If you check out my recipes tab and view my soups, it’s pretty evident that I have a love affair with soups. A while back I made a delicious Spicy Crab & Corn Chowder. I’ve wanted to make it again since it was so good but I decided to try something a little different this time around. I’ve seen a lot of Roasted Poblano & Corn Chowder recipes while surfing recipe sites on the internet so I wanted to try something along those lines but with crab. Because crab just tastes wonderful. Especially in chowders. So I present to you Roasted Poblano & Crab Chowder. A creamy, spicy, thick chowder that’s sure to warm your bones on a cold day. Not that we have many cold days in Florida but hey, it sounded like a good thing to say about a soup! I hope you enjoy this recipe.
