Easy Corn And Crab Chowder

Ingredients
  • 1 russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 1 (15 ounce) can creamed corn
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 5 slices bacon, diced
  • 1 (6 ounce) can crab meat, drained
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine (optional)
  • 1 cube chicken bouillon
  • salt and pepper to taste

Procedure
  • Wrap potato cubes in plastic wrap, and microwave for 30 seconds. Set aside.
  • In a saute pan, cook bacon over medium heat until heated through, and add chopped onions. Cook and stir until onions are clear. Stir in crab meat and parsley flakes. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter in a large stock pot over low heat. Whisk in flour until mixture becomes creamy and takes on a eggshell color. Continue to cook for a few more minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in wine. Dissolve chicken bouillon in milk; when the floor mixture is crumbly, slowly whisk in the milk. Mix well in order to eliminate all lumps.
  • When the mixture is creamy and hot, stir in bacon mixture, cubed potatoes, and creamed corn. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • For a creamy curry variation add 2 tablespoons curry powder after adding the wine to the flour mixture, and substitute cooked, cubed chicken for the bacon.
