Yield Makes 6 first-course or 4 main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound crimini mushrooms
6 tablespoons (1/3 stick) butter
1 cup finely chopped onion
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
2 14 1/2-ounce cans low-salt chicken broth
1/3 cup dry Sherry
1/2 cup whipping cream
2 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 pound fresh lump crabmeat, picked over
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh Italian parsley

Steps:

  • Cut off mushroom stems and chop finely. Slice mushroom caps and set aside. Melt 3 tablespoons butter in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Add chopped mushroom stems, onion and garlic; saut&é until mushrooms release their liquid and liquid evaporates, about 10 minutes. Add flour and stir 2 minutes. Mix in broth and Sherry and bring to boil. Reduce heat to low. Cover partially and simmer 25 minutes. Strain into heavy large saucepan; discard solids.
  • Melt remaining 3 tablespoons butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced mushroom caps; saut&é until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Mix sliced mushroom caps into soup. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cool slightly, then chill uncovered until cold. Cover; chill.)
  • Simmer soup 3 minutes. Whisk cream, yolks and lemon juice in small bowl to blend. Stir crab, then cream mixture into soup. Cook over low heat until soup thickens slightly, stirring constantly (do not boil). Season to taste with salt and pepper. Mix in parsley and serve.

I was a bit skeptical about this recipe because I'm not a huge fan of mushrooms, but I was pleasantly surprised. The mushrooms added a nice earthy flavor to the bisque and it was very creamy and flavorful. I would definitely make this again.

I've made this bisque several times now and it's always a hit. It's so easy to make and it's always delicious. I love that I can use fresh or frozen crab, and that I can adjust the amount of cream to make it as thick or thin as I like.
