Instructions

  1. Dice salt pork or bacon into ¼-inch cubes. In a heavy pot, slowly render the diced pork or bacon over low heat for 3 to 4 minutes until fat is liquefied, stirring constantly.

  2. Add chopped onion and cook over medium heat for 4 minutes until translucent. Stir in flour to create a roux, cooking for an additional 3 to 4 minutes without browning.

  3. Gradually whisk in the stock, ensuring the roux is fully incorporated, and stir until the mixture boils, then add the wine.

  4. Add potatoes and simmer for 15 minutes, or until easily pierced with a knife.

  5. While potatoes cook, gently heat half-and-half in a separate saucepan until hot but not boiling.

  6. Stir in corn and briefly return the chowder to a simmer, then add the crab and the hot half-and-half.

  7. Season with salt and white pepper to taste, then serve immediately.
