Spinach and Crabmeat Soup with Country Ham Croutons
When George Mahaffey makes this sublime, lightly creamy soup, he uses two coarsely chopped boiled blue crabs, which add rich seafood flavor to the dish. If you have a professional or other powerful food processor that easily cuts through shells, you too can add boiled crabs; if not, try raw, unpeeled shrimp, which are easily pureed in a standard blender or food processor.
