2 hard-cooked eggs (mashed)

Directions:

In the top of a double boiler, blend the butter and flour, and add the eggs and the lemon peel or lemon zest. Gradually add the milk or light cream (I prefer the light cream). Stir until it thickens. Add the crab meat and let it simmer for 5 minutes Then add the seasonings. Just before serving, stir in the sherry and bring the temperature back up. DO NOT allow the soup to boil. Sprinkle the top with paprika, preferably Hungarian paprika.
