Preparation Instructions

1

Sauté Vegetables

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and celery and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

2

Make the Roux

Sprinkle the flour over the sautéed vegetables and stir well to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes to form a roux.

3

Add Broth and Cream

Slowly whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Bring to a simmer and then stir in the heavy cream and tomato paste. Mix well.

4

Add Crab and Seasoning

Gently fold in the crab meat and Old Bay seasoning. Simmer for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5

Garnish and Serve

Ladle the bisque into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
