Easy Corn and Crab Chowder image

This is a simple yet flavorful chowder that can be prepared in a jiffy. Chicken curry variation is just as easy, and just as tasty. Leftovers make a great casserole or au gratin the next day.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 russet potato, peeled and cubed
5 slices bacon, diced
½ onion, chopped
1 (6 ounce) can crab meat, drained
½ teaspoon parsley flakes
2 tablespoons butter
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup dry white wine
1 cube chicken bouillon
1 ½ cups milk
1 (15 ounce) can creamed corn
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 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 flour 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.
