Spinach And Crab Meat Soup Recipes

SPINACH AND CRAB MEAT SOUP

Steps:

• Blend flour and butter in saucepan to make roux. Cook for a few minutes using a wire whisk.
• Add chicken broth and 1 can water slowly, whisking all the time.
• Defrost spinach and lightly saute with onion until tender.
• Add to soup mixture.
• Add crab, pepper, and finish with cream.
• Refrigerate 3 days to allow flavors to ripen.

CREAMY SPINACH AND CRAB MEAT DIP

Steps:

• Mix powdered soup mix with sour cream and mayonnaise and refrigerate until soup mix softens (this can be done overnight if you like).
• Stir in well the rest of the ingredients.
• Take a large round unsliced bread loaf and cut a big circle from the top. Hollow the cavity out by pressing down on the bread. Make little cuts around the edges of the loaf near the rim of the circle.
• Fill the loaf with the dip. The cuts allow people to tear bread off easily to dip. I usually chop up the bread 'lid' as well as it always gets dipped in and eaten.
