CORN AND CRAB BISQUE

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a pan. Add the corn, onion, celery, bell pepper and garlic, and sauté until tender. Whisk in the flour to make a white roux. Do not brown. Strain the stock through a fine mesh strainer. Slowly add the stock to the roux, then reduce heat and let simmer for 30 minutes. Add heavy cream, green onion and parsley. Cook for 3 more minutes, then gently fold in crabmeat. Be careful to not break up the large chunks of crabmeat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

HEALTHIER CORN AND CRAB BISQUE

Steps:

• Sweat the onion, celery, and bell pepper in butter and oil until soft.
• Add garlic toward the end so it doesn't burn.
• Add flour, and cook, stirring constantly, just until it starts to take on a little color.
• Add chicken broth and bring to a boil. (At this point, you can puree with a stick blender if you like a smoother consistency. I like it either way. If you plan to puree, use a yellow bell pepper so the color doesn't go off.).
• Add salt, pepper, and crab boil to taste. (I think Zatarain's has the best flavor for this, but be careful, it is potent stuff. If you can't get crab boil in your area, just use a little cayenne pepper.).
• Add crabmeat, and cook until done.
• Add corn and half and half, heat through.
