You know the old saying about weather?  If you don’t like it stay awhile, it will change.  Well, that is certainly the case here in Virginia Beach.  Earlier this week we experienced a few days of magnificent “deck weather”.   Today the temps are in the low 40s!   Which makes it the perfect day to make soup.  Here’s one of my favorite recipes.

4 T butter

1/2  c celery, chopped

1/4 c onion, chopped

1 pt milk

1 (12 oz) can evaporated milk

1 T Worcestershire sauce

1/2 tsp pepper

Dash salt

1 tsp Old Bay seafood seasoning

3 T honey

2 tsp lemon juice

2 tsp sherry

1 lb crab meat

1/4 c cracker crumbs

Saute celery, onion, and butter in heavy saucepan.  Add remaining ingredients* and simmer, do not boil.  Heat slowly, and then add crab meat and cracker crumbs to thicken soup.  Continue to add crumbs until thick enough.  *except crab meat and cracker crumbs.

Enjoy!
