Soup Base

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

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

  2. 2

    Make the Roux

    Sprinkle the flour over the sautéed vegetables and stir to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes to form a roux, stirring constantly.

  3. 3

    Add Stock and Cream

    Gradually whisk in the fish or crab stock, making sure to eliminate any lumps. Once combined, stir in the heavy cream.

  4. 4

    Season the Soup

    Add the Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

  5. 5

    Add Crab Meat

    Gently fold in the lump crab meat and allow the soup to simmer for about 5 minutes, until heated through.

  6. 6

    Finish and Serve

    Stir in the chopped green onions and sherry (if using). Serve hot with a sprinkle of extra Old Bay if desired.
