Creamy Crab Soup
Creamy Crab Soup
If you live in or around the Mid-Atlantic, or have visited us here, you know we love our blue-claw crabs! This is a quick, easy and delicious recipe from my Mama.
Ingredients:
- 2lbs of backfin or special crab meat
- 1 stick of butter
- 2 cups of dry white wine (one cup goes in the soup and one cup is for the chef to enjoy while cooking)
- 1 quart half and half
- 1 can chicken broth
- 1 can of Campbell’s Cream of Celery Soup
- 1 can of Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom Soup
- 1/2 a quart of milk
- 1 medium (white) onion
- 4-5 stalks of celery
- Salt & Pepper to taste
- Parsley
Directions:
Finely chop onion and celery (I put mine in a food processor). Next, in a pan simmer butter, onion and celery until onion & celery are soft (med-low heat). In a large soup pot, mix cream of celery soup, cream of mushroom soup, wine and chicken broth and bring to a slow simmer. When well blended, simmer the mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste (I usually do 1/4 tsp of pepper and 1/2-1tsp of salt). Add 2 tablespoons of parsley, crab meat, cooked onion & celery. Slowly add milk and half & half. Simmer over low heat for 20 minutes. Do not boil.
Enjoy!

I tried to copy & paste this into a Word doc., but it must be protected. Looks delicious!
Of course you know TS also has 4 soups this season that are wonderful as well – and as with all Tastefully Simple, EASY to make and you just add two ingredients or less. http://www.tastefullysimple.com/web/kghilarducci
Hope you don’t mind my “plug” Susan.
Keep up the good work, and I honestly DO want to try your recipe here!
I can email it to you if you want to you if you’d like…I had to do the right click thing cause my blogs were being copied…and TS is great…I can’t eat their soups though (cause I’m wheat free)…if I want to enjoy it too, I have to go with the 2+ ingredients
Sure, do you mind e-mailing it to me? I’ll put the ingredients on my grocery list today!
….and you know what would go PERFECTLY with this – Bountiful Beer Bread!!!
That I would agree with…even though I can’t eat it!
I made the soup today for the Super Bowl! It was delicious! We just let it simmer all day, and went to get a bowl whenever we wanted some. I did end up making Bountiful Beer Bread from Tastefully Simple too, to go with it. Perfect combination! Thanks, Susan.
Awesome! Glad you liked it, and I’m sure that bread complimented it really nicely!
Omg i have been looking for a recipe like this, if you wouldn’t mind emailing it to me I would soo appreciate it, my husband will love it and I am definitely up for trying new things like I always do
