    List of Ingredients




    1/4 cup butter
    3 Tablespoons flour
    4 cups milk
    2 Tablespoons grated onion
    2 teaspoons vegetable or chicken stock powder
    2 teaspoons chopped parsley
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon white pepper
    1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
    1/2 pound backfin crabmeat, with any shells removed
    1 Tablespoon cognac

    Recipe



    Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium low heat. Whisk in flour and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Gradually whisk in milk. Add onion, stock powder, parsley, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Increase heat and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the soup begins to thicken, stirring occasionally--about 10 minutes. Add crabmeat, stirring gently, and cook until the soup is creamy--about 10-15 minutes. When ready to serve, adjust seasoning, stir in cognac, and ladle immediately into bowls. Lightly pinch a bit of nutmeg into each bowl.
