Phillips says: Our hearty Crab and Corn Chowder has been a waterman’s favorite for centuries. Every chunky spoonful is brimming with sweet yellow corn and blue swimming crab meat. This creamy soup is simmered to perfections and laced with onions, celery, and red peppers. Then we add our special seafood seasoning to give a traditional Chesapeake Bay flavor to the rich chowder.

Abi says: What is ‘Blue Swimming Crab Meat’? You probably think that my inclusion of that phrase in the above description is a typo. It is definitely not a typo. As I typed the words into this document I had to go back and read the cardboard label again. And again. Yep, blue swimming crab meat. I’d love to tell you more about the crab meat, but there was so little in this bowl of soup that I’d be hardpressed to accurately describe it.

I guess the folks at Phillips seafood’s marketing department are a bunch of liars. The soup was watery rather than creamy, contained only three spoons of vegetables (and this is two servings!), and was merely ‘laced’ with crab meat. Yes, I ate all of the vegetables and meat out of the soup.

After the meat/vegetable population (which consisted of three spoonfuls) had been diminished I couldn’t take more than a few bites of this limpid, flavorless mess of a “chowder”. Do youself a favor and pick up Safeway’s Kickin’ Crab and Corn Chowder instead. At least that one contains actual ingredients.
