Charleston is known for this delicious soup served with just a dash of sherry and some chives to garnish. Making this brings back lots of good memories of crabbing at the beach. This is easy to make and is a great soup to warm you up on a cool day.
Ingredients:
5 tablespoons salted butter
5 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 small onion, minced fine
1 stalk celery, minced fine
2 cloves garlic, minced fine
2 quarts half n half
1 pint heavy whipping cream
1 cup vegetable (or chicken) broth
1 teaspoon hot sauce (I used Tabasco)
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
1/2 cup sherry (the drinking kind is better than the cooking kind)
1 pound crabmeat (fresh or canned)
salt and pepper to taste
chopped chives for garnish
Directions:
1. Melt butter in soup pot over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook approximately 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
2. Add minced garlic, onion, and celery. Mix thoroughly and cook approximately 4 minutes.
3. Gradually whisk in half n half so no lumps form. Stir in vegetable broth and heavy cream. Bring to a simmer and stir in sherry.
4. Add dill, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce, and stir.
5. Simmer until reduced by about 1/3 (approximately 30-40 minutes).
6. Add crabmeat and simmer another 10-15 minutes.
7. Ladle into bowl, splash with sherry, and sprinkle with chives...and enjoy!
