  2. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. Sprinkle the flour over the cooked vegetables and stir well to create a roux. Cook for 2-3 minutes to remove the raw taste of the flour.

  4. Gradually pour in the chicken or seafood broth while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

  5. Add the Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preference.

  6. Allow the soup to simmer for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavours to meld together.

  7. Gently stir in the crabmeat, careful not to break up the chunks too much. Let the crabmeat heat through for about 5 minutes.

  8. Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir well to combine,  and let the soup heat through without boiling for another 5-7 minutes.

  9. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed.

  10. Remove it from the heat once the soup is heated and the flavours have developed.

  11. Serve the creamy crab soup hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.

  12. Enjoy your delicious homemade crab soup.

Feel free to customize the recipe by adding other vegetables, herbs, or spices you enjoy. Additionally, you can use lump crabmeat or a combination of crabmeat and crab legs for extra flavour.

Wishing everyone a Happy National Crab Soup Day 2023.
