CRAZY CAJUN FRIEND


Recipe Introduction

This comes straight from Lousianna .. This is the BEST soup Ive ever had, w/ the exception of Cream of Oyster soup which I will also add.

List of Ingredients

8 tablespoons butter
1 onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup flour
1 pint half-and-half
1-1/2 cups evapoarted milk
2 cups crab or shellfish stock
4 ounces fresh spinach
1 pound fresh or canned crab meat
Creole seasoning, to taste
Salt



Recipe

Wilt the spinach in a small quantity of oil; remove from heat, chop finely and reserve.
Sauté onions in butter over medium heat until tender. Add flour. While whisking, cook flour for 2 minutes to form a white roux.

Add the half-and-half, evaporated milk, stock, and spinach, and stir thoroughly to combine. Bring to a simmer, and simmer over low heat for 5 minutes. Gently fold in the crabmeat, making sure not to break up any lumps. Heat through for 2 minutes. Season to taste with Creole seasoning and salt.
