Cream of Crab Soup (SOMD Style)???

[Club'nBabySeals]

Does anyone have a really hearty, rich recipe for Cream of Crab soup?

I'm looking to bring a little bit of SOMD to our first Christmas Dinner in Florida this year, and I think this would be the perfect soup course...however, the only crab soup I know how to make is the other kind.

Thank you!

I like this one.

1 pound Maryland jumbo lump crab meat
1 tablespoon fresh parsley
3 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning
1/4 cup butter
2 pints heavy whipping cream
1 quart half and half
cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 pint milk


Directions:

Bring milk, half and half, and heavy whipping cream to a boil. Add crab meat, fresh parsley, Old Bay Seasoning, butter, salt and pepper. When it starts to boil, make a paste of cornstarch and water to thicken soup.

This recipe is credited to Ms. Charlese Smith and is the Grand Prize Winner in the Soup Division of the 53rd Annual National Hard Crab Derby held in Crisfield, MD.
