SHERRIED CRAB BISQUE
Steps:
- 1. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the onion and celery and cover. Cook until the vegetables are tender but not browned, about 10 minutes. Stir in the flour. Cook, uncovered, stirring often, without browning the flour, for 1 minute. 2. Gradually whisk in the broth, clam juice, sherry, and tomato paste. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and partially cover the saucepan with the lid. Simmer, stirring often, until the bisque is lightly thickened, about 10 minutes. (The bisque can be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead, cooled, covered, and refrigerated. Reheat to simmering before proceeding. If the bisque is too thick, thin with additional chicken broth.) 3. Add the crab and the cream, increase the heat to medium, and cook just until very hot--do not boil. Season the bisque with the salt and hot sauce. Serve hot in soup bowls, sprinkling each serving with parsley.

- Finally add your star ingredient - Crab and allow to come full heat slowly and serve with a wedge of crusty bread and salad for a full meal or just by itself for a great intro to a wonderful dinner.

Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use a combination of crab meat and crab stock. If you don't have crab stock, you can use fish stock or vegetable stock.
- Be sure to cook the vegetables until they are softened but still have a little bit of crunch. This will add texture and flavor to the bisque.
- Use a good quality dry sherry. A fino or manzanilla sherry will work well.
- Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings to your taste. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or cayenne pepper.
- Serve the bisque with a dollop of sour cream or crème fraîche and some chopped chives.
