Steps:
- In a large, heavy bottomed soup pot, saute the onions and celery in the whole butter until translucent. Stir in the flour and cook over a low flame for approximately 5 minutes. Add a splash of Sherry then the cream, stir this then add the water and milk. Now add the salt, Tabassco and crab roe, bring to a simmer then add the crabmeat. Stir in the crab gently as to not break the lumps. If the soup appears too thick, add a little more milk and adjust the seasonings. Serve in a soup cup and garnish with the scallions, chives and a splash of sherry.
Tips:
- Use fresh crab meat for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh crab meat, you can use frozen or canned crab meat, but the flavor will not be as good.
- Be careful not to overcook the crab meat. Overcooked crab meat will be tough and chewy.
- Add the sherry or white wine just before serving. This will help to preserve the flavor of the wine.
- Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers.
