Cream of Crabmeat Soup

I love soups made wiht seafood. Here's one that uses crabmeat.

1/4 pound butter

1/4 cup chopped green onion

1 1/2 pounds claw claw crabmeat

1 1/2 tablespoon granulated onion

3/4 teaspoon shrimp base

1/4 cup flour

1/2 pound sliced mushrooms (optional)

1 1/2 quarts half & half

1 1/2 quarts heavy cream

1/4 cup white wine

Salt and pepper to taste

Dash cinnamon

Dash nutmeg

In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add green onions and sweat down for 2 minutes, then stir in crabmeat, onion powder, and shrimp base.

Sprinkle flour over mixture, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Cook, stirring for 2 minutes or until flour no longer smells raw. Add mushrooms, half & half, an heavy cream.

Adjust heat and simmer30 minutes, stirring constantly so as not to scorch the bottom of the pot. Add white wine, salt, pepper, cinnamon, and nutmeg; simmer for 5 minutes, then taste and adjust seasonings. Serve hot.
