Steps:
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the flour and whisk for about 1 minute, until well blended.
- Whisking constantly, gradually add the half & half. Add the mustard, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring to boil, whisking frequently (be sure to scrape the edges of the pot, where the flour mixture tends to settle). As soon as the soup starts to boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until thickened, about 30 seconds. Stir in the sherry and crabmeat. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If the soup is too thick, add water, little by little, to thin it out (it will thicken the longer it sits on the stove, even off of the heat). Ladle into bowls and sprinkle with chives. Serve with lemon wedges, if desired.
- Note: Old Bay seasoning is sold in the seafood department at most supermarkets. It can also be ordered online or made from scratch.
- Note: Lemon is really only necessary if not using the sherry.

CRAB CHOWDER
This is the tastiest soup I've ever encountered and the only one I'll ever submit. For a thicker sauce use more cream and less milk.

Steps:
- Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir onion, celery, thyme, salt, and pepper in hot butter until onion and celery start to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir potatoes, milk, broth, cream, and clam juice into onion mixture. Bring to a simmer; cook until potatoes are soft, about 10 minutes.
- Pour broth mixture into a blender no more than half full. Cover and hold lid down; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Puree in batches until smooth. Return pureed soup to pot and stir in crabmeat. Cook until soup is hot and crab is heated through, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

STONE CRAB CLAW CHOWDER
Steps:
- Take a large pot and over medium heat sweat the onions, carrots and celery for approximately 5 minutes, until the onion is transparent. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the potatoes, clam juice and water to cover the vegies. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to simmer until potatoes are cooked. Raise the temperature to medium to start the stew boiling. Add the scallops, and cook until just done. Turn off the heat. Add the shrimp and crab claws, cover and let steam for three or four minutes. The shrimp should cook without becoming tough. Stir in the coconut milk over a low heat. Check the seasoning and adjust. Just before serving, stir in the diced jalapeno and the juice of the lime. Garnish bowls with cilantro. Serve with slices of French Bread.
CRAB AND CORN CHOWDER
I started cooking at a local restaurant when I was 16 years old. This creamy chowder was one of the soups we made. The recipe had been passed from cook to cook- but had never been written down, until now!
