List your ingredients, please. No amounts, necessary. I'm curious what you put in it besides yrsherry and crab.
Thumbs up on the sherry, and what do you build your soup on if it's not some sort of flour base?
Soup doesn’t always build upon anything flour base. If a true Carolina She Crab, no base.
Seafood stock. Personal choice. Cream base soups use the flour base.
Your first answer is why I asked for your ingredients, I was confused.
Technically a true Carolina She Crap recipe does use a base. Its original recipe used puréed boiled rice to thicken it. I tried it years ago and didn't care for it.
I won't go into the Tl;Dr version on how I gave myself the self proclaimed title of expert on She Crab, NE style Clam Chowder and Manhattan style Conch Chowder, but you could say at one time it was a Labour of Love.
Truthfully, I thought this was a mac & cheese trap. The recipe came from a person that worked at Duck Inn in Virginia Beach. I loosely based it off of that. Never ate it myself, hate seafood.
Oh, and Behr, when I'm wrong about something, I will admit it. I was wrong on this.![]()
