Soup Base

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the celery, carrot, onion, and garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Make the Roux

    Stir in the flour and cook for another 2-3 minutes until lightly browned.

  3. 3

    Add the Broth

    Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a boil.

  4. 4

    Incorporate Cream and Seasonings

    Reduce heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add Crab and Sherry

    Gently fold in the lump crab meat and sherry wine. Allow to heat through for another 5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
