- 2 slices center-cut bacon diced into 1/4” pieces
- 1/2 sweet onion finely chopped
- 1 jalapeño seeds removed and finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced or crushed
- 1 1/2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 15 ounces canned whole kernel corn drained
- 15 ounces canned creamed corn
- 2 cups milk
- 12 ounces canned crab meat drained
Instructions
- Spray a large stockpot or dutch oven with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Add bacon, and sauté until starting to brown. Add onion and jalapeño, and continue cooking until onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Add butter and garlic, and stir until butter is melted.
- Sprinkle flour over onion mixture, and stir to combine. Slowly stir in chicken broth a little at a time, stirring constantly to eliminate any lumps of flour. Stir in Cajun and Old Bay seasonings and corn. Bring soup to a simmer.
- Add milk, and return to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium. Cook 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently. Add drained crab meat, and simmer 3-5 minutes longer. Serve with bread and a side salad, and enjoy!
