SHE CRAB SOUP


She Crab is a southern favorite seafood soup/bisque that is thick, creamy and made with lump crab, dry sherry, and a bit of Mace spice. In this recipe, our Seafood Rub is blended with the seafood stock, and the Mace is added in the final cooking of the soup. The finished soup is topped with a scoop of lump crabmeat and then lightly sprinkled with Paprika. This is a truly delicious soup and a real gourmet treat- not to be missed!
