Directions:
- Gently remove cartilage from crab meat.
- Melt butter in a 2-3 quart sauce pan.
- Add the onion and cook 3-4 minutes - until translucent.
- Blend in flour and cook as a roux on medium-low heat until the flour-butter mixture loosens , which indicates the flour is cooked (about 5 minutes).
- Off the heat, stir in chicken broth and sherry, return to the heat and simmer for 3 minutes.
- Add salt, pepper, milk and cream, then stir in Tabasco, cayenne and sugar.
- Use a little of the liquid to thin the tomato paste and stir it back into the soup.
- Cook on med-low heat until thickened, but do not let it boil.
- Taste it, and when the cream base is cooked and seasoned to your liking, add the crab.
- Heat gently another 5 minutes and serve.
- Serving suggestion: make a lightly sweetened whipped cream to dollop on top and serve with a small pitcher of the sherry to add at the table.
- A small amount of fresh chopped parsley around the edge of a soup plate is attractive, but don't use too much because you don't want to affect the flavor of the soup.
