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.)

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.

I've enjoyed cooking and baking ever since my 4-H days in rural Iowa. The zesty seasonings in this bisque nicely complement the subtle flavor of crab.

Tips:

Use fresh crab meat. Fresh crab meat has a sweeter, more delicate flavor than canned or frozen crab meat. If you can't find fresh crab meat, you can use canned or frozen crab meat, but be sure to rinse it well before using.
Don't overcook the crab meat. Crab meat is very delicate and can easily be overcooked. Be sure to cook it just until it is opaque and tender.
Use a good quality fish stock. The fish stock is the base of the soup, so it is important to use a good quality stock. You can use homemade fish stock or a good quality store-bought fish stock.
Add vegetables to the soup. Vegetables add flavor, texture, and nutrients to the soup. You can use any vegetables that you like, such as onions, carrots, celery, potatoes, or corn.
Season the soup to taste. Be sure to taste the soup before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or other spices.
