Steps:
- Bring stock and bay leaves to a boil in a large pot. Cook asparagus until tender and add to stock pot. Melt butter in a separate saucepan and gently saute onions, celery, and carrots (mirepoix) until tender, then gradually add flour (with a non-reactive utensil such as a wooden spoon), and cook until similar to a roux. Transfer to the pot of stock to thicken soup. Let simmer for 45 minutes. Remove bay leaves from soup. *Blend to a puree with an immersion blender, or in batches in a blender or food processor. Add cream to the soup, and keep warm over low heat.
- For the crab "souffle," mix crab, mayonnaise, thyme, salt and pepper, and squeeze of fresh lemon juice, trying to avoid breaking up the lumps of crabmeat. Place a scoop of the crabmeat in the center of soup bowl and ladle the asparagus soup around. Garnish with a lemon wedge.
- *When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.
Tips:
- Use fresh crab meat for the best flavor. If using frozen crab meat, thaw it completely before using.
- Cook the asparagus until it is tender-crisp. Overcooked asparagus will become mushy.
- Add the crab meat and asparagus to the soup just before serving. This will prevent the crab meat from overcooking.
- Season the soup to taste with salt and pepper. You may also want to add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dash of cayenne pepper.
- Serve the soup immediately, garnished with fresh parsley or chives.
Conclusion:
This easy creamy crab and asparagus soup is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is also a great way to use up leftover crab meat. With its rich, creamy broth, tender asparagus, and succulent crab meat, this soup is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
