This cream of crab soup is so rich and delicious! I make this a lot, especially in the winter with some nice, hot rolls! Use more Old Bay to suit your taste. I also recommend using lump crabmeat. Enjoy!!

Tips:

Use fresh crab meat for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh crab meat, frozen crab meat will work, but it won't be as flavorful.
Don't overcook the crab meat. Crab meat is delicate and will toughen if it is cooked for too long. Simmer the soup for just until the crab meat is heated through.
Use a good quality sherry. A dry sherry is best for this soup. Avoid using a sweet sherry, as it will make the soup too sweet.
Serve the soup hot. Crab soup is best served hot, with a crusty bread or crackers.

Conclusion:

Crab soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover crab meat. With its creamy texture and rich flavor, crab soup is sure to please everyone at the table.
