Ingredients:  
8 cups water
1/4 cup fish base (or 4 cubes fish bouillon)
3/4 cup butter
1 1/4 cup flour
1 1/2 cup Red Sauce (See below)
2 tsp. Old Bay seasoning
1 tsp. white pepper
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp. Tabasco sauce
1 1/4 cup lump crab meat
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 cup milk
1 oz. sherry
1 oz. whiskey

Red Sauce Ingredients:
1/4 cup olive oil
2 cups shredded carrots
1 tbsp. minced garlic
1 tbsp. dried basil
1 cup chopped red onions
3 large cans (84oz.) diced tomatoes
Directions:
Directions:
First make red sauce. Cook oil, carrots, garlic and basil over high heat, stirring occasionally, until tender; 5-10 minutes. Add onions and reduce heat to medium. Cook until very tender; about 15 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook for 20-30 minutes over high heat, stirring often. Remove from heat and let cool. Puree and chill. (Note: This makes 4-5 cups of red sauce. Freeze excess in pre-measured Ziploc bags for future batches of soup.)
Soup Instructions: Bring water and fish base to a boil. Meanwhile, make a roux with the flour and butter. To make the roux, start by melting the butter in a heavy-bottom saucepan until it foams and bubbles. Add the flour all at once, whisking constantly until the two are combined and a smooth consistency has formed. Cook the mixture for about 5 minutes. At this point, the roux will develop a light brown hue and a nutty flavor; this will be used to thicken the soup. Add roux to boiling stock. Whisk well over high heat until roux is completely incorporated and mixture is smooth, about 5 minutes. Add red sauce and stir well. Add next 5 ingredients (Old Bay through Tabasco) and stir well. Add crab and cook 5 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and simmer for 20 minutes, until heated through.
