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
  • 1 st butter
  • 1/2 c flour
  • 1/4 ts pepper
  • 1 qt half and half
  • 1 1/2 c chicken broth
  • 1 tb old Bay seasoning
  • 1 c milk

Directions
  1. 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.
  2. 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.

Be still my heart....my favorite soup in the world! I spent a weekend in Baltimore once and had Cream of Crab at every meal trying to find the best in Baltimore. Found it at the Pier 5 restaurant - best of the best! Alas, Pier 5 isn't there anymore and now its a McCormick's & Schmick. Oh - good call on the parsley!


Oh my....I love crab soup. I wish I had the crab to make it tonight. Thank you for posting your recipe. I am printing this out. :)


So rich and decadent! This could be a full meal by itself! Delicious!

It really is decadent. So rich that as you begin you notice a warming flush. It's a requested favorite for fall evenings when my family gathers to watch a Ravens football game.


One can not go wrong with this recipe, thats for sure!!!

I've used this recipe for YEARS and it never fails to impress! Every time I go to a party or something...I am "told" not "asked", to make Cream of Crab Soup! = ) Instead of using the 1 cup of Milk though I use anywhere from a Half Cup to a whole cup of Heavy or light cream in it's place...it adds so much more to the soup than the milk ever did...just my opinion. = )
