"A simple and delicious way to use crabmeat!" — ALASKA GIRL

Directions

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat, and saute the shallots and garlic until tender. Pour in the chicken broth, and bring to a boil. In a small bowl, mix the milk and flour. Stir the mixture into the pot, and continue cooking until soup is slightly thickened.
Season the soup with cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Mix in the crab and whiskey, and cook until heated through.

We used chicken stock instead of broth & Old Bay in place of the cayenne & salt. We didn't add the crab when we added the whiskey (used Jack Daniels) in case the whiskey flavor was strong & needed to be simmered some to tone it down...which it was. We simmered for about 30 minutes & thought the whiskey flavor was still too strong so we added about 1/2 cup of heavy cream & 1/2 cup of chicken stock. After adding the crab & topping our bowls w/ a bit of grated asiago cheese, it was perfect! Served it w/ garlic toast & salad w/ vidalia onion vinaigrette...can't wait to have it again!

Even with a 1/4 cup of whiskey it was terribly overpowering. I used Dickel, so maybe using lesser quality it might not be as strong. It's an interesting recipe, but I won't be making it again.
