As chowders go, many are popular. If you don't care for green chile, you can omit it or
substitute with 1½ teaspoons of
cayenne powder.
2¼ cups fresh crab meat or use canned crab meat. This does not work well with imitation
crab meat
4 slices bacon, chopped for bacon bits
1 medium onion, chopped
2 medium potatoes, peeled, diced small
¼ cup white wine (Chardonnay or Sherry) (or increase water to ½ cup)
¼ cup water
1 cup corn, creamed
2 cups milk or (for a richer sauce 1 cup milk & 1 cup cream)
2 roasted green chile, minced
salt and pepper to taste
1. In a frying pan, cook the bacon until crisp. Remove, crumble and set aside. Reserve 3
tablespoons of the drippings.
2. Add bacon drippings and onions to a saucepan. Cook until lightly browned; add
potatoes, wine or water and continue to cook over medium high heat until the potatoes are
