She-crab Soup Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Sauté Vegetables

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

2. 2

   Make Roux

   Sprinkle the flour over the sautéed vegetables and stir well to combine. Cook for about 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

3. 3

   Add Broth

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

4. 4

   Incorporate Cream and Seasonings

   Stir in the heavy cream, crab meat, sherry, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Let the soup simmer for another 5-10 minutes until heated through.

5. 5

   Serve

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