2 cups	125g / 4.4oz	Dungeness crab meat - (7 oz)

2 tablespoons	30ml	Butter

Recipe Instructions

Chop the crab meat very fine and simmer it in the half-and-half with the onion for 20 minutes.

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat and add the flour all at once, stirring until blended. Cook until the mixture is just beginning to turn golden, about 5 minutes.

Remove the onion from the half-and-half and add the liquid to the butter and flour mixture. Cook, stirring frequently, until the soup thickens, 3 minutes. Season with salt and a little white pepper. Just before serving, add the nutmeg and a splash of Sherry to taste.
