Ingredients

Method

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!
