How to Make Yorktown Crab Soup
- Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in the top of a double boiler over medium-low heat.
- Whisk in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour until smooth. Gradually whisk in 4 cups of milk, ensuring no lumps form.
- Add 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of Old Bay seasoning. Stir constantly until the soup thickens to your desired consistency (about 8-10 minutes).
- Gently stir in 2 cups of cooked crab meat. Heat through for about 2-3 minutes, avoiding overcooking.
- Just before serving, stir in 1/2 cup of heavy cream and 2 tablespoons of dry sherry (optional). Heat through gently. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives (optional).
