Family-favorite quick crab chowder with creamy base, sauteed veggies, and fresh herbs.
Ingredients:
  • 2 tablespoons bacon grease
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
  • 1.5 cups chicken stock
  • 1 quart heavy cream
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 0.125 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 0.125 teaspoon chili powder
  • 0.125 teaspoon dried dill weed
  • 1 pinch white sugar
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  • 1 pound fresh crabmeat
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon water, or as needed
  • 0.25 cup dry sherry
Instructions:
  • In a large pot over medium-high heat, combine bacon grease and butter. Cook onion, celery, and parsley until onion is browned, around 5 minutes. Lower the heat to medium, then add stock. Gradually mix in cream, salt, seasoned salt, pepper, chili powder, dill, sugar, and cayenne pepper. Add the crab and simmer for about 15 minutes until flavors meld together.
  • Combine flour and water in a small bowl, then pour the mixture into the soup to slightly thicken it. Stir in sherry just before serving.
