Cream Of Crabmeat And Spinach Soup
CDKitchen https://www.cdkitchen.com
Serves/Makes: 6 | Ready In: < 30 minutes
8 tablespoons butter
1 onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup flour (or as desired)
1 pint half and half
1 1/2 cup evaporated milk
2 cups crab or shellfish stock
4 ounces fresh spinach
1 pound lump crab meat
Creole seasoning, to taste
salt
Wilt the spinach in a small quantity of oil, then remove from heat, chop finely and reserve.
Saute onions in butter over medium heat until tender. Add flour. While whisking, cook flour for 2 minutes to form a white roux.
Add the half-and-half, evaporated milk, stock, and spinach, stirring thoroughly to combine. Bring to a simmer, and simmer over low heat for 5 minutes.
Gently fold in the crab meat, making sure not to break up any lumps. Heat through for 2 minutes. Season to taste with Creole seasoning and salt.
NOTE: For a thinner roux, decrease butter to 4 tablespoons and flour to 1/2 cup. For a richer soup, substitute heavy cream for the half-and-half.
