    While the bacon is cooking, melt butter in a large stockpot over low heat. Whisk in flour until mixture becomes creamy and takes on an eggshell color. Continue to cook and stir for 3 more minutes. Stir in wine.

    Dissolve chicken bouillon in milk; whisk mixture into the stockpot until no lumps remain. Cook until creamy and heated through. Stir in bacon-crab mixture, potatoes, and creamed corn; season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes.



    Creamy Curry Variation:

    Substitute cooked, cubed chicken for the bacon, and add 2 tablespoons curry powder after adding the wine in Step 3.
