Cream Of Crab Soup Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Sauté Vegetables

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

2. 2

   Add Garlic and Flour

   Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Then, sprinkle the flour over the sautéed vegetables and stir well, cooking for 2-3 minutes to form a roux.

3. 3

   Add Broth

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

4. 4

   Add Cream and Seasonings

   Once the soup has thickened slightly, lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Allow it to cook for an additional 5 minutes.

5. 5

   Add Crab Meat

   Gently fold in the cooked crab meat and let the soup heat through for another 2-3 minutes, being careful not to break up the crab too much.

6. 6

   Serve

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