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

FRESH CORN AND CRAB CHOWDER



Fresh Corn and Crab Chowder image

I adapted this recipe from a camping cookbook, Simple Foods for the Pack, by Claudia Axcell, Diana Cooke and Vikki Kinmont. Originally almost all the ingredients were dehydrated (except for the canned crab) so that you can just throw them all in a ziplock and heat them in camp with water. This is probably a great idea for OAMC, but this recipe is also very fast to put together if you haven't made it ahead. I had it on the table within half an hour from start to finish, and that included time to cook the potatoes in the microwave. This chowder is very rich even without any dairy in it, and obviously you could make it vegetarian without the crab.

CRAB AND CORN CHOWDER



Crab and Corn Chowder image

This is a very easy soup I came up with that tastes great for a fall dinner! (I needed soup for dinner--I had just been to the dentist!) I use whole goat's milk instead of cream, but they have the same quality (and not many people have goat's milk!) Update: As a shortcut, I often use a bag of Simply Potatoes Diced Potatoes and Onion instead of the potato and onion--no cutting or extra time on the onion needed!
