Ingredients
4 blades of mace or ground mace
2 tsp SIDS SALT & PEPPER to taste
1 tbsp butter
2 tsp flour
3⅓ cups milk
½ cup cream
3 ribs grated celery
2 cups white crab meat or surimi
½ cup breadcrumbs
1 tbsp SIDS HOT WORCESTER SAUCE
4 tbsp dry sherry
Directions
In a mortar and pestle or in a spice grinder, process the mace, SIDS SALT & PEPPER until finely ground.
Melt the butter in a double boiler over boiling water. Add the flour and stir until smooth to form a roux. Add the mace, SIDS SALT & PEPPER, and stir to combine. Slowly add the milk, whisking it constantly into the roux. Add cream, celery and stir.
Simmer and stir for around 7 minutes until the soup begins to thicken. Add crabmeat, breadcrumbs, SIDS HOT WORCESTER SAUCE and simmer over the double boiler with a lid on for around ½ an hour.
Add the sherry and stir before transferring to bowls. Serve topped with a sprinkle of paprika, a drizzle of olive oil and with some crusty bread.
