"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 quart half and half
1/2 quart heavy cream
1/4 t white pepper (black works also - it will just show up as black flecks in the soup)
1/4 t garlic powder
1 bay leaf
1 1/2 T chicken base (or 1 bouillon cube)
1/4 cup sherry
1 stick butter
3/4 cup flour
4-6 ounces lump crab meat
Directions:
Directions:
Mix all ingredients except butter and flour in a large pot. Begin heating gradually, stirring occasionally (be careful not to burn it). Meanwhile, in a pot on the stove, melt butter and whip in flour until smooth. Let simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Turn the heat off and wait until the cream mixture is hot. When the cream is hot, add enough to the flour/butter mixture to make it thick but pourable. Then pour all of that back into the cream mixture and simmer until it just reaches a boil. Add a little more cream or milk if the soup is too thick. Add lump crab meat into each bowl just before serving (if you add it earlier, it will break up and get lost in the soup). Enjoy!
