She-Crab Soup Recipe

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Melt butter in a large stockpot over medium heat, then cook and stir in flour to make a smooth paste (about 3 minutes).

Mix in onion, celery, and garlic, and season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook and stir for about 4 minutes.

Gradually whisk in half-and-half so that no lumps form.

Stir in heavy cream and chicken broth and bring to a simmer, then pour in 1/2 of the sherry.

Season with dill, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce.

Cover and simmer until soup has reduced by about a third (about 30 minutes).

Add crabmeat and simmer the soup for a further 10 minutes.

Ladle soup into bowls. I recommend topping each serving with a splash of remaining sherry and a sprinkle of chives.
