She Crab Soup

[Paymaster]

Anyone got a recipe? I had this stuff in Florida and I would love to fix at home. The cafe that served it would not give it up.

The best recipe I've ever seen and/or eaten is in Edna Lewis's The Taste of Country Cooking." Oh my, it is so good!

Most EXCELLENT she crab recipes are closely guarded secrets, including mine. I got a best of the beach award for it

I will say that starting off with some rendered bacon, sweated mirepoix, sweet red pepper, backifin crab is a good start.

Ending with a garnish of colossal crab lumps and a drizzle of sherry(or Bermuda Sherry peppers)is even better.

I haven't tried it, but here's one from the Food Network: Recipes : South Carolina She-Crab Soup : Food Network

I wouldn't worry about the crab roe; I called around about that once and was told that grocery stores don't carry it. Unless you live near a dock where watermen bring in crabs, you won't be able to find it. The soup will be fine without it.
