Cooking Instructions

1

Sauté the Vegetables

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

2

Make the Roux

Sprinkle the flour over the sautéed vegetables. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the flour is lightly browned.

3

Add Broth and Cream

Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then stir in the heavy cream.

4

Incorporate the Crab

Gently fold in the crab meat, Old Bay seasoning, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Allow the soup to simmer for another 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

5

Serve

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped chives before serving.
