Hello.  I have been unable to locate a recipe for She-Crab Soup, as requested by one of my site visitors.  My site is lowfat, so a light version of the recipe would be appreciated, though at this point ANY recipe for She-Crab Soup would be appreciated.  I believe this is a crab bisque with some of the crab roe in it, but that's all I've been able to come up with. Anyone? Thanks, Trevy Little Low Fat Cooking Guide http://lowfatcooking.miningco.com

Alan This is from Nathalie Dupree's New Southern Cooking She says that Madiera was used until prohibition, and sherry more recently.  I've never made this, and it's certainly not low cal. 2 tablespoons butter 1 green onion, finely chopped 1 stalk celery, finely chopped 2 tablespoons flour 1 quart milk     2 cups heavy cream She crab, cooked and picked over to make 3 cups of lump crabmeat and eggs 2 hardcooked eggs (optional) salt white pepper dash hot sauce 1/3 cup dry Madeia 1/2 cup heavy cream, whipped Paprika In a heavy saucepan, melt the butter, add the onion and celery, and cook until the onion is soft but not browned.  Stir in the flour, then add the milk and cream and bring to the boil, stirring constantly.  Remove from the heat and let cool a few minutes.  Add the crabmeat with the eggs.  Substitute crumbled yolks from hard-cooked chicken eggs if fresh she-crabs were not used.  When ready to serve, warm the soup briefly to 180 degrees over very low heat, stirring.  Do not allow to boil.  Taste, season with salt, pepper, and hot sauce.  To serve, place a small amount of Madeira in each soup bowl, add the soup, top with whipped cream, and sprinkle with paprika.
