CRABMEAT BISQUE MADE EASY
This is not a thick soup, yet it is creamy and so smooth to the palette. The aroma when cooking makes you want some before the potatoes are soft. I have made modifications due to allergy to corn (such as rice flour). I allow mine to slow-simmer with lid slightly ajar. Stir often so the film does not form on top. I have doubled my batch and still never have any for the freezer.

CRAB BISQUE WITH AVOCADO, TOMATO & CORN RELISH
Steps:
- To prepare relish: Combine avocado, corn, tomato, lime juice, pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt in a small bowl; toss to coat. Let stand at room temperature while you prepare the bisque. To prepare bisque: Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add corn, onion and bell pepper and cook, stirring often, until the onion and pepper have softened, about 5 minutes. Add potato and paprika and cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes. Add sherry and cook, scraping up any browned bits, until the liquid has reduced slightly, about 5 minutes. Add stock (or broth) and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are very tender, about 15 minutes. Working in two batches, puree the vegetable mixture in a blender or food processor. (Use caution when pureeing hot liquids.) Return the puree to the saucepan; stir in milk, crab and remaining salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve each portion of bisque with about 1/4 cup relish; sprinkle with additional paprika, if desired.
Tips:
- Use fresh crab meat for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh crab meat, you can use frozen or canned crab meat, but the flavor will not be as good.
- Be careful not to overcook the crab meat. Crab meat is delicate and can easily become tough if it is overcooked.
- Use a good quality white wine for the bisque. The wine will add flavor and depth to the soup.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with the vegetables in the relish. You can use any vegetables that you like, such as tomatoes, corn, onions, peppers, and zucchini.
- Serve the bisque immediately, while it is still hot. The relish can be served on top of the bisque or on the side.
Conclusion:
Crab bisque with avocado-tomato-corn relish is a delicious and elegant soup that is perfect for a special occasion. The bisque is creamy and flavorful, and the relish adds a bright and refreshing touch. This soup is sure to impress your guests!
