Spinach And Crab Meat Soup Recipes

HOT SPINACH AND CRAB DIP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Melt the butter in a medium pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 6 minutes. Add the cream cheese, Worcestershire, dry mustard, paprika and cayenne, and stir until melted. Add the spinach and crabmeat, and stir until warm and bubbling. Stir in the cheeses and season with salt and pepper.
• Transfer the dip to a small baking dish and top with the panko. Place the baking dish on a baking sheet and bake until bubbling and golden, about 15 minutes.

CRABMEAT AND CORN SOUP

Steps:

• In a heavy-bottomed pot, melt butter, add flour, and stir gently until blended; do not burn or let it darken. Add milk gradually, stirring all the while, then add half and half, stirring gently while blending. Add corn and green onions, and cook for a few minutes until tender.
• Add crabmeat, pepper, salt, and soy sauce and simmer until very hot and small bubbles form around the edge; do not let boil. Adjust seasonings to taste. Garnish with sprinkles of chopped fresh parsley when serving and serve hot.
• Variations: You may use 4 cobs of fresh corn instead of frozen or canned. Cut the kernels off the cob, scrape cob for juices, and then add to soup. Cook until corn is tender. Canned crabmeat or imitation crab may be used instead of fresh crabmeat. Use one 7 1/2-ounce can crabmeat (drained) and 8 ounces imitation crab (cut into small pieces). Combine the two and cook as noted above.

• Drain the spinach, pressing with a spatula or spoon so it is as dry as possible. Arrange spinach on a platter.
• Prepare the sauce by pouring the remaining tablespoon of oil along with the ginger juice and sherry in a wok over medium-high heat. When the liquid is hot, but not boiling, add the crab meat and chicken broth, stirring quickly and gently breaking up the crab meat so that it is in strands. Cook for 30 seconds to one minute.
• Mix the cornstarch with the remaining 2 ounces of water and add this and the crab roe to the crab-meat mixture, stirring until the sauce thickens. Turn off the flame. Add the egg white and stir for 3 seconds. Do not let the egg white solidify. The sauce should glisten. Pour the sauce over the spinach and serve immediately.
