Add the potatoes, Essence, salt, cayenne, and thyme to the pot and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and continue to cook for 20 minutes, or until potatoes are very tender. Add the crawfish and heavy cream, if using, stir to combine, and cook for 5 to 10 minutes, just until crawfish are heated through. Stir in the chives, taste, and adjust the seasoning, if necessary. Serve in soup bowls, garnished with the parsley. ___ Essence directions Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

• 5. *NOTES: Remember - if you can't get Crawfish, use Shrimp instead. Fresh cut corn makes this recipe even better. Use about 2 cups of fresh corn, with the milk from the cob. Hold the shucked corn over a bundt pan and just cut the corn from the cob. Go back over the cob with the dull side of the knife blade to get the extra milk. All of it will fall into the bundt pan for easy clean-up and transfer to your pot. *CHOWDER: Cook 2 lbs. peeled and diced russet potatoes and 1 Tbsp. salt in saucepan, in milk just enough to cover potatoes, then set aside. Coarsley smash potatoes leaving small chunks and add to pot along with the chicken broth, milk and cream. Follow remaining directions through the end of the recipe.
