Soups and Stews
She-Crab Soup
To serve 4
4 quarts water
2 tablespoons plus 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
12 live blue she crabs, each about 4 inches wide and weighing about 1/2 pound
4 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon flour
2 cups milk
2 cups heavy cream
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated onions
1 teaspoon finely grated fresh lemon
1/2 teaspoon ground mace
1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
3 tablespoons pale dry sherry
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley

   Bring 4 quarts of water and 2 tablespoons of salt to a boil in an 8- to 10-quart pot. Drop in the crabs and return the water to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover tightly and simmer for 15 minutes. Drain the crabs, then clean ( page 32) and shell them. Set the meat and roe aside.

   In a heavy 3- to 4-guart saucepan, melt the butter over moderate heat. When the foam begins to subside, add the flour and mix well. Stirring the mixture constantly with a wire whisk, pour in the milk and cream in a slow thin stream and cook over high heat until the sauce comes to a boil, thickens slightly and is smooth.

   Stir in the crabmeat and the crab roe, the onions, lemon peel, mace, the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt and the white pepper. Reduce the heat to low, and simmer partially covered for 20 minutes. Stir in the sherry, taste for seasoning, and pour the soup into a heated tureen or individual soup plates. Sprinkle the top with the parsley and serve the soup at once.
