Assembly Directions: 
Place the potatoes, corn, carrots, and onions in saucepan or stockpot. Sprinkle with thyme, garlic powder and black pepper. Add broth. Cover and cook on medium heat until vegetables are crisp tender (about 15 to 25 minutes). Allow mixture to
cool.

Freezing Directions: 
Place vegetable mixture in a one-gallon freezer bag or rigid freezer container. Crab can be frozen along with the mixture.

Serving Directions: 
Thaw crab and vegetable mixture. Chop the crabmeat into bite size pieces and set aside. In a saucepan or stockpot, add the vegetable mixture and 2/3 of the total amount of skim milk (1-1/3 C. for one recipe). Heat on medium high heat until boiling. Place all of the flour in a mixing bowl and gradually stir in the remaining 1/3 of the milk (2/3 C. for one recipe). When the milk/flour mixture is no longer lumpy, add it to the vegetable mixture in the saucepan. Add the crabmeat as well. Stirring constantly over medium, heat, bring the soup to a gentle boil. Allow the soup to boil one minute while continuing to stir. Remove saucepan from heat and serve.
