Serving Size: 4

Cooking Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 Medium russet potato, peeled
• 5 Slices bacon, diced
• 0.5 Medium onion, minced
• 1 6 Ounces (oz) can crab meat, drained
• 0.5 Teaspoons (tsp) parsley flakes
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) butter
• 0.33 Cups all-purpose flour
• 0.25 Cups dry white wine
• 1 Cube chicken bouillon
• 1.5 Cups milk
• 1 15 Ounces (oz) can creamed corn
• 1 Pinch salt, to taste
• 1 Pinch pepper, to taste

Steps

1. Wrap the cubed potato in plastic wrap and microwave on high for 30 seconds. Set aside.
2. In a large skillet, cook the diced bacon over medium heat until browned, about 7 to 10 minutes. Add the minced onion and cook until translucent, approximately 5 minutes. Stir in the drained crab meat and parsley flakes, then remove from heat.
3. While the bacon is cooking, melt the butter in a large stockpot over low heat. Whisk in the flour until the mixture becomes creamy and takes on an eggshell color. Continue to cook and stir for 3 more minutes, then stir in the optional white wine.
4. Dissolve the chicken bouillon cube in the milk, then whisk this mixture into the stockpot until no lumps remain. Cook until creamy and heated through.
5. Stir in the bacon-crab mixture, microwaved potatoes, and creamed corn. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 10 minutes before serving.
