This recipe was delicious and easy to make. I substituted fat free everything (except the cream of potato soup) and it came out tasting great! I may add sauteed yellow onions next time...

Seriously! Wow!! Very few changes. Added some fresh potatoe (1 baker pealed, chopped, cooked) Used the frozen Walmart Crawfish. Cut back on the butter. Used FF half & half, added extra cream cheese. This was so yummy! Even my 2 yo was dipping bread in it. Is a keeper!

FANTASTIC!!! I'm only learning to cook because I've never been one to take the time but this recipe makes things easy. Threw this together in 20 minutes and let its flavors come together before eating. I used a small yellow onion instead of green onion because I already had some diced in a covered dish that needed used. I also went for fat free cream cheese since the 1/2&1/2 is so rich. I used 16oz. of frozen corn instead of canned because we're not fans of canned veggies. Oh, and I added one pound of shrimp. Delicious. Next time I'm going to dice a couple potatoes. We ate this up and I'll be making it again in the next month or two.

This came out sssoooo good!! I doubled the 1/2 and 1/2 and doubled the cream cheese just to make it a little thinner and creamy. I also added louisiana hot sauce and tony's to the crawfish while cookin them. I also added mushrooms with the green onions when I cooked them. Served it with cornbread and everyone devoured it!!

This is a great start to an awesome chowder but here is what I did different; first I don't use crawfish, I use crabmeat (sometimes imitation), and cooked shrimp. I also add tilapia or some other white fish that has been grilled or broiled. I add all the seafood at the end and let "meld" together for about 5 minutes. I also use cream of crab or cream of lobster instead of the cream of mushroom. I use 8 oz. of cream cheese instead of 4. This is awesome! Everyone asks me for the recipe.

I found this recipe a few years ago and have been in love ever since. I live in the South, so we've only eaten fried or boiled crawfish. This is a great, hearty change of pace. Would love to try the other persons review and add some sausage and potatos. Thanks!!

I liked this, but it was a bit fishy for me, next time I will cut the crawfish in half and add a bit more corn and 3 or 4 diced and cooked potatoes. On the other hand, my brother and my dad loved it! Thanks for the recipe!

Excellent recipe. This is a fool proof recipe I have made it over a dozen times and it is always a big hit with everyone. I like to add a can od diced new potatoes, and serve with both shredded cheese and french bread. Also, you can substitute yellow onions for the green ones and I have also sub half and half for milk but my husband always notices and complains.

Incredibly tasty for such a simple dish. I did half Old Bay, half cayenne and it was just spicy enough.

Heavy and what can be fishy tasting anything usually scares me. However, this was FANTASTIC. It is a keeper. The substitutions made were: Added some Simply Potatoes-diced to onion; used both Old Bay and cayenne w/a dash of red pepper sauce. Us Texans like it hot! I also used the frozen crawfish tales (2 bags). I will make this again and again and again. Thanks for the easy, YUMMY recipe.

This is absolutely the best crawfish chowder ever! Everytime I make it I get rave reviews and everyone wants the recipe. I also add about 2 large red potatoes, parboiled and cut in small pieces + about 1/2 cup dry sherry at the end! If you have a super Walmart nearby, you can get the crawfish meat, cleaned and packaged in 12oz packets.

Was very good and easy to make, but thicker than I would like. I think I will try using equal parts milk and half/half next time.

My supermarket didn't have crawfish, so I substituted crab and shrimp instead. The beauty of this recipe is that you can pretty much throw in kind of seafood that you want. Definitely a favorite!

I thought this sounded like a terrific "welcome to autumn" meal and it did not dissapoint. I was unable to find crawfish, so I used lump crab meat and shrimp. While sauteing the green onions I also added come chopped carrots (for flavor and color). The chowder turned out fantastic and tasted great heated up the next day too! Thanks for the great recipe.

This is the best "any kind of seafood" chowder I have ever eaten, even in restaurants. And all the simple ingredients make it even better. All I did was add extra seasoning & a dab of lemon juice. Can't beat this for a large dinner party!

My family and I loved it but with some minor changes. I used lite cream cheese and fat free half and half because I don't really like things that are too rich. I also used light butter. I used Old Bay instead of cayenne and I doubled the amount of crawfish I used because I love crawfish. It turned out really well!!! I can't wait to make it again!
