Steps:
- In a large heavy-bottomed pot, melt the butter over high medium heat, then reduce heat to medium. Saute the onion and celery until soft while stirring with a wooden spoon, about 5 minutes.
- Whisk in the flour, and cook for 2 minutes.
- Slowly pour in the seafood stock, whisking continuously so the crab soup remains smooth. Add the heavy cream while whisking, then repeat with the whole milk.
- Stir in the white crab meat, sherry, and spices.
- Turn the heat down to medium low to allow it to simmer for 5 to 8 minutes, then taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
- Serve hot, and garnish each bowl with paprika, chives, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, or oyster crackers.
- To warm up leftovers, pour soup into a pot set over medium heat, stirring frequently so the bottom doesn't burn.

Steps:
- Melt butter in a stockpot over medium heat. Add the onion and bay leaf, sweat down for 2 minutes until translucent. Sprinkle in the flour and stir until it dissolves. Whisk in the stock, stirring constantly until smooth and free of lumps. Gradually pour in the milk, cream, and paprika; continue to stir until incorporated. Add half the crab meat and roe. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 15 minutes until thick and heated through.
- To serve, divide a tablespoon of sherry among 4 bowls. Ladle the soup into the bowls, spooning the remaining crab meat and roe in the center of each. Garnish with chopped chives. Serve with crusty French bread.
- Pour water in a large stockpot and place over low-medium flame. Add the vegetables and bouquet garni; cook for 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to become tender. Add the lemon juice, crab boil seasoning, peppercorns, wine and salt. Simmer gently for 15 minutes, stirring to mingle flavors. Carefully put the crabs in the pot and continue to cook for another 15 minutes. The crab shells will be bright orange when done. Remove and shell the crabs. Strain the stock to discard the vegetable solids, reserving the crab meat and stock.

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the flour and whisk for about 1 minute, until well blended.
- Whisking constantly, gradually add the half & half. Add the mustard, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring to boil, whisking frequently (be sure to scrape the edges of the pot, where the flour mixture tends to settle). As soon as the soup starts to boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until thickened, about 30 seconds. Stir in the sherry and crabmeat. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If the soup is too thick, add water, little by little, to thin it out (it will thicken the longer it sits on the stove, even off of the heat). Ladle into bowls and sprinkle with chives. Serve with lemon wedges, if desired.
- Note: Old Bay seasoning is sold in the seafood department at most supermarkets. It can also be ordered online or made from scratch.
- Note: Lemon is really only necessary if not using the sherry.

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a pot over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until tender and translucent. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute more.
- Add the flour to the pot, stirring to mix well and cooking for 3 to 4 more minutes.
- Whisk in the clam juice and chicken broth. Bring them to a boil.
- Once boiling, add in the corn, old bay, and bay leaf. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, uncovered.
- Gently stir in the milk, cubed cream cheese, crab meat, and any necessary salt/pepper.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cream cheese is melted and the soup is heated through. Remove the bay leaf, grab some saltines or oyster crackers, and enjoy!
- **Some helpful hints: The clam juice is found in a bottle in my grocery store, not in a can. Also, the frozen corn doesn't need to be thawed before adding to the soup, and canned corn can be substituted. Finally, 1/3 less fat cream cheese is sometimes called "Neufchatel" cheese.

AWARD-WINNING MARYLAND CREAM OF CRAB SOUP
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.

CURRIED CREAM OF CRAB SOUP
Received in am email - created by David Jarrett. Like the sound of this variation of classic crab soup (something we love here) - the milk rather than cream will lighten it up a bit & the curry provides a nice complement to the crab. Of course we'll be using our "home grown" blue crab (- the best in the world IMAO LOL!) so I will be stashing this recipe to try later in the year when our own crabs are plentiful & heavy (so the picking won't be so arduous). A fresh green salad and crusty bread together with the soup makes a nice meal. Thanks David.
