Crab meat vs rock.....

Here is a great crab soup for some of that meat this winter.




Cream of Crab Soup


1 lb. crab meat (or more)
6 Tbsp. butter
2 small potatoes, peeled and diced
1 small onion, peeled and diced
2 tsp Old Bay (or more) If you buy crab meat you need more! I steam my own crabs with lots of Old Bay flavor in the meat
1 Tbsp dry mustard (or more)
4 Tbsp flour
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
4 cups half and half
2 cups milk
2 Tbsp sherry (or more)
2 tsp parsley flakes

In heavy 3 quart saucepan melt butter. Add potato, onion, Old Bay and mustard. Cook
over low heat until tender - stir constantly.

Remove from heat. Add flour salt, pepper - blend well. Gradually add half and half and
milk. Cook on low heat until thick - stirring occasionally. Add crab - cook for15 - 20
minutes. Stir in sherry and parsley just before serving.
