Crab Soup

Boil six crabs. Fry the meat with one tablespoon of butter, and one small onion (the onion should be fried quite brown). Add a tablespoon of flour, salt and pepper, cook a little longer, then add one quart of water and one teaspoon of minced parsley. Boil slowly for one hour, add one pint of rich milk, reheat and serve.
