Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, celery, and carrot. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the onion is translucent.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic and Tomato Paste

    Stir in the minced garlic and tomato paste. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Add Liquids and Seasonings

    Pour in the fish stock (or clam juice), white wine, and heavy cream. Add the bay leaves, dried thyme, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

  2. 4

    Simmer the Bisque

    Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Finishing Touches

  1. 5

    Add Crab Meat

    Remove the pot from heat and stir in the crab meat gently to avoid breaking it up too much. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes to warm the crab through.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Ladle the bisque into bowls and garnish with additional crab meat or a sprinkle of paprika if desired. Enjoy your delicious crab bisque!
