Updated on Dec 4, 2011

I had this last night at Paula Deen's restaurant in Cherokee, NC. It was absolutely to die for! Dad tasted it & wanted to bring a gallon of it home (not going to happen). Now that I got the recipe...I can make it anytime for Dad (or all for me - LOL!).

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 can cream of potato soup
  • 1 can cream of celery soup

How To Make crab stew

  • Step 1
    In a large saucepan, melt the butter & saute the onion until translucent, 3 - 4 minutes.
  • Step 2
    Add the soups, milk & 1/2 & 1/2. NOTE: The next time I make this...I'm going to take an immerson blender at this point to break up the onions...so it's more smoother like at the restaurant.
  • Step 3
    Add the crabmeat & bring just to a boil. Add the sherry & salt & pepper.
  • Step 4
    Serve immediately or allow to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate or freeze immediately in plastic microwavable reusable containers with lids.
