CRABMEAT BISQUE MADE EASY

Crabmeat Bisque Made Easy image

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.

Easy peasy. Twenty minutes. Delicious. We make it with the 1-lb can of crab claw meat which is terrific (Trader Joe's, Lucky Market in the refrigerated seafood section) and runs about $9.)

Time 20m

Yield 6 , 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 lb canned crabmeat (or fresh, if you have it, can afford it!)
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
8 ounces low-fat cream cheese
1 tablespoon butter
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
2 cups chicken stock or 2 cups seafood stock
1 cup white wine
1 1/2 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning

Steps:

Saute the chopped vegetables in the butter and Old Bay Seasoning.
Add the stock, wine and tomatoes and simmer until vegetables are soft. Use less stock if you like a thicker bisque - one reviewer mentioned this was a little thin for her taste: no problem withholding, then adding some of the stock at the end until you get it the way you like it!
Melt the cream cheese into the stock/vegetable mixture.
Add the crab, heat and serve.
Note: I use Redi-Base seafood stock base, available on line.

Tips:

Use high-quality crab meat: Fresh or frozen crab meat works well in this bisque. Avoid using canned crab meat, as it can be mushy and have an off-flavor.
Don't overcook the crab meat: Crab meat is delicate and cooks quickly. Overcooking it will make it tough and rubbery.
Use a good quality broth: Homemade or store-bought seafood broth will work well in this bisque. Avoid using water, as it will make the bisque bland.
Add vegetables for extra flavor and nutrition: Chopped celery, carrots, and onions are all good additions to this bisque. You can also add other vegetables, such as leeks, fennel, or mushrooms.
Season to taste: Be sure to taste the bisque before serving and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or other spices to taste.

Conclusion:

This keto crab meat bisque is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover crab meat. Serve it with a side of crusty bread or crackers for a complete meal.
