Ingredients | Carolina Burger Recipe

5 tablespoons butter

5 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 small white onion, grated

1 stalk celery, grated

2 cloves garlic, minced

salt and pepper to taste

2 quarts half-and-half cream

1 pint heavy cream

1 cup chicken broth

1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce

2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill

1 pound lump crabmeat

2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

½ cup sherry wine

Directions

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.

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 crabmeat, and simmer for another 10 minutes.

Ladle soup into bowls, and top off with a splash of the remaining sherry and a sprinkle of fresh chives.
