Instructions
 

  • In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, celery, and minced garlic. Sauté until they become soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to combine. Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring constantly, to make a roux.
  • Slowly pour in the seafood or fish stock, while stirring continuously to avoid any lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes, until slightly thickened.
  • Add the crab meat, heavy cream, and crab roe (if using) to the pot. Stir gently to combine. Season with Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper according to your taste preferences. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  • Once the soup is heated through and the crab meat is tender, it's ready to be served. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
