Directions:
- Clean the crab and remove the meat from the shell.
- Reserve the meat. Use the shell to make the crab stock.
- Crab stock:.
- Heat the olive oil in a heavy stockpot.
- Add the crab shells, carrot, onion and celery; brown lightly.
- Add brandy and ignite. When flames have expired, add the water, garlic, bay leaf, tarragon and tomato paste.
- Bring stock to a low simmer for 2 to 3 hours and reduce to 1 quart.
- Strain through a fine sieve and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Soup:.

- Add crab stock, cup by cup, whisking thoroughly after each addition. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer for 20 minutes, skim frequently.
- Add heavy cream, juice from the lemon, tabasco, worcestershire, old bay and white pepper. Bring back to simmer for 10 minutes.
- Add the whiskey, sherry, 2 tablespoons butter and the reserved crab meat; cook 1 minute to heat through. Salt to taste.
