This is an easy and quick recipe that my sister and I devloped. It's definitely not in the low fat category but it sure is satisfying! Ingredients:
1 small onion, chopped |
1/4 cup unsalted butter |
4 tablespoons flour, divided |
4 cups half-and-half, divided |
1 cup heavy cream |
2 teaspoons salt |
pepper |
1 lb crabmeat (don't skimp here..a good, canned variety comes from phillips) |
chives, chopped (optional) |
Directions:
1. Saute onion in the butter, over medium heat, until translucent.
2. Add 2 T. of the flour to the onions, mixing well with a wooden spoon. Cook for about a minute.
3. Add 3 cups of the half-and-half, heavy cream, salt and pepper. Whisk while bringing up to a boil (you can turn up the heat a bit here - just be careful not to scald the cream).
4. Shake 2 T. of the flour and 1 cup of the half-and-half - using a jar with a lid. Shake until the flour is blended well.
5. Add to the soup by whisking. Keep whisking until the soup thickens.
6. Stir in the crab and cook for about 5 more minutes.
7. Ladle the soup into the bowls and garnish with snipped chives, if desired.
