She Crab Soup Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and celery, and sauté until they are soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

2. 2

   Make the Roux

   Sprinkle the flour over the sautéed vegetables and stir well to combine. Cook for about 2-3 minutes to form a roux, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

3. 3

   Add Broth

   Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, making sure there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4. 4

   Incorporate the Cream and Seasonings

   Stir in the heavy cream, sherry, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Allow the soup to heat through for another 5 minutes.

5. 5

   Add Crab Meat

   Gently fold in the crab meat and let it warm in the soup for a few minutes.

6. 6

   Serve

   Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your savory She Crab Soup!
