I don't even know if there are words to describe the awesomeness of the She Crab Soup from the Sea Captain's House Restaurant in Myrtle Beach, SC. It's just that good — like lick the bowl clean good.

Sea Captain's House She Crab Soup Recipe

What makes She Crab different than most chowders is the omission of potatoes, or any other veggie for that matter, and the addition of sherry. It's a warm, velvety combination that highlights the fresh crab meat in the most decadent, (and delicious!) way possible.

As soon as I returned home from my trip, I rushed to Google for the award-winning recipe — to my surprise, Sea Captain's House has made their famous She Crab Soup recipe freely available ... no copycat recipe needed! ENJOY!

Sea Captain’s House She Crab Soup Recipe

Ingredients yields 1-gallon 

  • 2 large onions, diced
  • 1 cup clarified butter
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 and 1/2 quarts half-and-half

  • 1 and 1/2 tsp. ground mace
  • 1 cup sherry, good quality

        I went back over recipe. 2 cups flour could be correct as there is 1 cup butter too. That would make sense then to me...

          Yes, it's a larger portion of soup and it's thick and creamy! I hope this helps 🙂

    Way too much flour. Did I do something wrong? I kept adding extra half and half, then milk, and it just never seemed to thin out enough to be good. After all the extra liquid, there wasn’t enough crab. So disappointed.
