CHARLESTON SHE-CRAB SOUP



Charleston She-Crab Soup image

Adapted from "Charleston Receipts" and attributed to Mrs. Henry Church, this is an authentic she crab soup recipe. Mrs. Church shares a 'secret'--if unable to obtain she crabs and thus have no roe, crumble the yolks of hard boiled eggs in the bottom of the soup plates. Please note there is a difference between the egg-bearing female crabs who carry their eggs outside their shells and which are generally illegal to be harvested, and the she crabs which contain roe within their shells and which are legal. These are available via mail order from several seafood houses in the Carolinas and Georgia. Please also note that the spicing of the soup is very mild but very traditional--if you prefer it to be more highly spiced, you can of course add more and additional spices.

THE VERY BEST SHE-CRAB SOUP EVER!



The Very Best She-Crab Soup Ever! image

I am from the South Carolina lowcountry, and I have spent years experimenting and trying to re-create the fabulous creamy crab soup native to Charleston. I have played with numerous recipes, and I am finally satisfied that I have stumbled upon the perfect concoction of she-crab bisque. More than likely, you will end up with a "he-crab" soup, as the crab roe is what makes it "she-crab" and it is almost impossible to get your hands on. If you ever find crab roe, savor every precious spoonful! Still a bowl of heaven without it though!

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 30m

Yield 4 bowls, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 lb lump crabmeat, divided
1 large onion, finely diced
1 bay leaf
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
2 cups crab stock (i've also successfully used fish stock and chicken stock before)
2 cups milk
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
2 teaspoons paprika
1/4-3/4 cup dry sherry
1/2 cup crab roe, divided (good luck!)
salt & pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons chopped chives
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
splash dry white wine (optional)
squeeze lemon juice
1 dash hot sauce

Steps:

  • Melt 2 TBSP butter in large heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic, onion and bay leaf, cover, sweat 2 minutes.
  • OPTIONAL STEP: Pour 1/4 C sherry in pan and ignite. Stir until flames subside. I've made this without doing this step (hence the range in the amount of sherry on the ingredient list) and it is still delicious, but I think this just gives it a little extra oomph.
  • Sprinkle the flour in and stir to coat.
  • Whisk in the crab stock until there are no lumps.
  • Gradually add: milk; cream; paprika; another 2 TBSP dry sherry; worcestershire sauce; hot sauce; white wine; and lemon, stirring consistently.
  • Blend with a puree wand, or in batches in a blender.
  • Add half of the crab meat and roe (if you are lucky!) Season with salt and pepper.
  • Simmer 10-15 minutes, stirring often so it doesn't burn, until it is thick and heated.
  • Divide 1/4 C sherry and remaining crab meat and roe amongst 4 bowls. (1 TBSP each sherry and roe and 2 oz. each crab meat).
  • Ladle soup over sherry and crab meat.
  • Garnish with chopped chives. Serve with crusty french bread.
