Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
3/4 cup chopped scallions
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups seafood broth or clam juice
2 cups low-fat (1%) milk
3 tablespoons dry sherry
1/2 teaspoon Lemon Pepper Seasoning
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
Pinch cayenne
1 pound crabmeat, picked free of shell
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

Directions

Heat the oil in a large saucepan until hot. Add the scallions and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 3 – 4 minutes. Stir in the flour; cook 1 minute. Slowly add the broth and milk; bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until smooth and bubbly, about 8 minutes. Stir in the sherry, Paula Deen Lemon Pepper Seasoning, white pepper, and cayenne. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the flavors are blended and the soup thickens slightly, about 5 minutes longer. Stir in crabmeat; heat through. Sprinkle with chives. Serve at once.

ALTHOUGH I CANNOT AFFORD ANY OF THE DEAN RECIPE BOOKS, I THOROUGHLY ENJOY ALL OF THE FOOD NETWORK SHOWS THAT ARE PRESENTED EACH DAY ON THE FOOD CHANNEL. PAULA IS SUCH AN INSPIRATION TO ME WITH HER FAMILY MEMORIES AND FUNNY MOMENTS.

AND, NOW THAT YOU HAVE A LIGHTER SIDE TO THE RECIPES, I ALSO ENJOY MAKING THESE RECIPES SINCE I AM DIABETIC.

THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE TO ENTERTAIN AND EDUCATE ME WITH YOUR WONDERFUL RECIPES!

SINCERELY,

MARIA
