Sweet Potato Crab Chowder

From hot_it_up 14 years ago

This is a great Fall chowder. You can go all kinds of ways with this. Sasso ham is a Cajun spicy cured ham.

4 ounces sasso ham or thick cut bacon, chopped shopping list
4 ounces andouille, or other sausage chopped shopping list
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper shopping list
1/3 cup chopped shallots or onions shopping list
1/4 cup chopped celery shopping list
1 tablespoon minced jalapeno, seeded (optional) shopping list
1 15-ounce can cream-style white or sweet corn, 2 cups fresh if available shopping list
2 15-ounce cans chicken broth, low sodium if desired shopping list
1/2 teaspoon creole seasoning or pumpkin pie seasoning shopping list
1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper shopping list
2 cups, drained and diced sweet potatoes in light or heavy syrup shopping list
1 cup whole milk shopping list
8 ounces cooked lump crabmeat shopping list
2 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley shopping list

Cook the sasso in a large stockpot over medium heat until it begins to crisp. Remove sasso Add the andouille to the sasso drippings. Saute for about 3 minutes or until the andouille is crispy.
Remove 2 tablespoons of the andouille and set aside for garnish. Add the sasso along with the red bell pepper, shallots, celery, and jalapeno. Saute for about 5 minutes or until fragrant and vegetables are tender.
Add the cream corn, chicken broth, Creole seasoning, and black pepper. Simmer uncovered for 10 minutes. Next add in the sweet potatoes, stir well and let simmer 5 minutes, then add the milk and all but 2 tablespoons of the crabmeat, let simmer another 5 minutes or until mixture is heated through.Stir in 1 tablespoon of parsley. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
In a small bowl toss the remaining parsley, crab, and andouille together and use as garnish.
Ladle into bread bowl, individuals bowls, or even a soup tureen. Garnish with the reserved andouille/crab mixture. I allow me and any guests to use hot sauce as desired.
