This is the tastiest soup I've ever encountered and the only one I'll ever submit. For a thicker sauce use more cream and less milk.

AWARD-WINNING MARYLAND CREAM OF CRAB SOUP



Award-Winning Maryland Cream of Crab Soup image

This recipe is credited to Ms. Charlese Smith and is the Grand Prize Winner in the Soup Division of the 53rd Annual National Hard Crab Derby held in Crisfield, MD. It is very rich - not a diet soup!! I make this with one cup grated onion sauteed in the butter until very soft to start, before adding the milk and cream, but I didn't want to add that below as this is the original recipe.
