Perfect for chilly days. Rich, creamy and so very good! I serve mine with oyster crackers sprinkled on top. Boyfriend adds a bit of cheese sprinkled on top of his.

Steps:
- 1. Melt butter in a large stockpot over medium heat. Stir in flour to make a smooth paste, and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Mix in the onion, celery, and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook and stir for about 4 minutes.
- 2. Gradually whisk in the half and half cream so that no lumps form. Stir in chicken broth and heavy cream. Bring to a simmer, and pour in half of the sherry. Season with dill, Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce. Cover, and simmer for about 30 minutes, until soup has reduced by 1/3. Add crab meat, and simmer for another 10 minutes.
- 3. Ladle soup into bowls, and top off with a splash of the remaining sherry and a sprinkle of fresh chives.
