Dinner tonight, she-crab soup. This is not a meal I would make over the weekday due to the time and effort it takes to make this meal, but for a raining weekend soup, this hit the spot.
Let’s cook!

Ingredients:
4 cups whipping cream
2 cups fish stock
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsalted butter
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 pound crabmeat

In a large pot combine whipping cream, salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, and simmer for 1 hour.

Closing Remarks:
This is a great soup to freeze and enjoy later! Since most of Jen’s family lives in Maryland, I think made her a little home sick. She could not stop raving about how much she loved the she-crab soup!
Happy Cooking!
