Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Sauté Vegetables

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

  2. 2

    Make the Roux

    Sprinkle flour over the sautéed vegetables and stir well to combine. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

  3. 3

    Add Broth

    Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it thicken for about 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Stir in Cream and Seasoning

    Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let it cook for another 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add Crab Meat

    Gently fold in the fresh crab meat and allow it to heat through, about 3-5 minutes. Do not boil.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your Cream of Crab!
