Categories     Soup/Stew     Shellfish     Side

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 medium celery rib, finely chopped
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
Two 13 3/4-ounce cans reduced-sodium chicken broth
Two 8-ounce bottles clam juice
1/2 cup dry sherry
1 1/2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 pound fresh crabmeat, picked through for cartilage and shells
3/4 cup heavy cream
Salt and hot red pepper sauce, to taste
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the onion and celery and cover. Cook until the vegetables are tender but not browned, about 10 minutes. Stir in the flour. Cook, uncovered, stirring often, without browning the flour, for 1 minute. 2. Gradually whisk in the broth, clam juice, sherry, and tomato paste. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and partially cover the saucepan with the lid. Simmer, stirring often, until the bisque is lightly thickened, about 10 minutes. (The bisque can be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead, cooled, covered, and refrigerated. Reheat to simmering before proceeding. If the bisque is too thick, thin with additional chicken broth.) 3. Add the crab and the cream, increase the heat to medium, and cook just until very hot--do not boil. Season the bisque with the salt and hot sauce. Serve hot in soup bowls, sprinkling each serving with parsley.

This bisque was a bit too thick for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if it was a bit thinner. Other than that, the flavors were good.

I made this bisque in a slow cooker and it turned out great! I just threw all of the ingredients in the slow cooker and let it cook on low for 8 hours. It was so easy and the bisque was absolutely delicious.

This bisque was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if it was a bit milder. Other than that, the flavors were good and the texture was smooth and creamy.

I wasn't a fan of this bisque. The sherry flavor was too overpowering and the crab was a bit too fishy for my taste. I think I would have preferred a more traditional crab bisque recipe.

This bisque was just okay. The flavors were a bit bland and the texture was a bit too thick. I think I would have preferred it if it was a bit thinner and more flavorful.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a huge fan of seafood, but I'm so glad I did! The bisque was absolutely delicious and I couldn't get enough of it. The sherry added a really nice touch and the crab was cooked perfectly.

This sherried crab bisque was an absolute delight! The flavors were perfectly balanced, with a rich and creamy base that was enhanced by the sherry, crab, and vegetables. I served it with a side of crusty bread and it was the perfect comfort food for
