Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, celery, and carrot. Sauté until the vegetables are soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

  2. 2

    Make the Roux

    Sprinkle the flour over the sautéed vegetables and stir to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

  3. 3

    Add the Liquid

    Gradually whisk in the fish stock or seafood broth and white wine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  4. 4

    Add the Crab and Cream

    Stir in the crab meat, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and Old Bay seasoning. Simmer for another 5-10 minutes until heated through.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Ladle the bisque into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot.
