Best Cream of Crab Soup
From rottman 15 years ago
- 20 minutes to make
- Serves 4
A nice creamy soup that makes for a good fall/winter warmer. Can be eaten as a meal, or served in a mug as an appetizer/warmer.
Ingredients
- 1 lb backfin crab meat shopping list
- 1 st butter shopping list
- 1/2 c flour shopping list
- 1/4 ts pepper shopping list
- 1 qt half and half shopping list
- 1 1/2 c chicken broth shopping list
- 1 tb Old Bay Seasoning shopping list
- 1 c milk shopping list
How to make it
- Melt butter and blend in flour. Stir until smooth. Slowly stir in chicken broth. The mixture will visibly thicken and become gravy-like. Add pepper and simmer for 2 minutes. Add half and half and milk slowly. Slowly cook and stir until fully thickened. Add crab meat. Heat and serve.
- Comment: The original recipe called for 1 Tb parsley. It didn't suit my taste, so I've left it out to make a creamy soup that can be served in either a bowl or mug.
