Seafood foodies --
A couple of nights ago I was really craving a thick, hearty soup. So I decided to craft my own cream of crab, being a Maryland native and all. My measurements may not be exact, but add each one to your liking!
Ingredients:
1 1/2 sticks butter
3/4 cup flour
1 quart half and half
1/2 cup milk (I used 1%)
2 cups chicken stock
1 can (16 oz) canned crab meat
1 bay leaf
2 tsp. Old Bay
2 tsp. curry powder
2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce (more if you're like me)
Salt and pepper
Melt butter over medium high heat and add flour to create a roux. Whisk for two minutes. Add half and half, milk, and chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Stir in bay leaf, Old Bay, and curry powder. Add crab meat and bring back up to a simmer. Finish with Worcestershire sauce and salt and pepper to taste. Top with a sprinkle of Old Bay. Serve with fresh veggies or bread. Voila! Enjoy :)
