Chowder Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a large pot, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pot.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    Add the diced onion and celery to the pot with the bacon fat. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the onions are translucent.

  3. 3

    Add Remaining Ingredients

    Stir in the sweet corn, diced potato, chicken broth, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and old bay seasoning. Bring to a boil.

  4. 4

    Simmer the Chowder

    Reduce the heat and let the chowder simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

  5. 5

    Add Crab and Bacon

    Once the potatoes are tender, gently fold in the crab meat and crispy bacon. Allow to heat through for an additional 5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Ladle the chowder into bowls and top with oyster crackers before serving.
