Preparation: 15 minutes

Cooking: 30 minutes

Total: 45 minutes

Serves:

Ingredients

1 pound lump crab meat
2 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent.
Sprinkle flour over the onions and garlic, and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to cook off the raw flour taste.
Slowly whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add the crab meat, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper to the pot. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream and continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
