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.

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.

Serve hot in soup bowls, sprinkling each serving with parsley.
