"She crab" soup question ...

[love2"Q"]

i want to make some she crab soup for thanksgiving ..
i have a pretty good idea of how to make it ..
and have looked at a few decent looking recipes ...
but not sure what kind of crab meat to use ..
i would love to use fresh .. but thats not going to
happen .. was thinking backfin .. but that may
be a little to chunky .. so do you think i should
get claw ? or go for the backfin ..

oh .. and please .. if you have a TNT recipe .. please share it ..

Hi. I posted this one a while ago: South Carolina She-Crab Soup Recipe: Recipes: Food Network

I haven't made it, but I've eaten enough she-crab soup Don't worry about the crab roe, it will be fine without it. I think backfin will be very good - and crab is so delicate, it will fall apart in the soup. Not a problem.
