Crab Soup
Remove cooked meat from 6 hard-shelled crabs and chop finely. Add 3 cups white stock, 2/3 cup stale breadcrumbs, 1 slice of onion, 1 sprig of parsley, and simmer 20 minutes. Blend together 1 tablespoon Crisco and 1 tablespoon flour, and add 1 cup cream, salt and red pepper to taste. Combine mixtures and bring to boiling point.
