Soup Base

Method

Soup Base Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, celery, and carrots. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables begin to soften.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic and Seasonings

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Then, add the vegetable broth, bay leaves, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

  3. 3

    Simmer

    Reduce the heat and let the soup simmer for about 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Remove bay leaves after simmering.

Crab Mixture Preparation

  1. 4

    Combine Crab and Cream

    In a separate bowl, combine the cooked crab meat and heavy cream. Mix well to ensure the crab is evenly coated.

  2. 5

    Add to Soup

    Carefully fold the crab mixture into the soup base. Stir gently to combine, and let it heat through for an additional 5 minutes.

  3. 6

    Finish with Lemon and Parsley

    Stir in the lemon juice and chopped parsley. Adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if desired.
