Steps:
- Put a medium pot over med-high heat, add a drizzle of olive oil and cook the bacon until it is crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Pour off a little of the bacon fat. Add the potatoes, onion, celery bell pepper and bay leaf, season with salt and pepper and cook until the vegetables are softened.
- Stir in flour and cook for 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth and stir with a wooden spoon, scraping up all the brown bits at the bottom of the pan.
- Add the milk and bring to a simmer.
- Break up the crab meat with your fingers, removing any shell bits. Combine with the thyme and Old Bay.
- Stir the crab meat into the pot and simmer 6-7 minutes, until the potatoes are fork-tender and the soup has thickened.
- Finish the chowder with the sherry and serve with the bacon, chives and oyster crackers.
