Soup Base

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, until translucent.

    Add Vegetables

    Add the minced garlic, diced red bell pepper, and diced celery to the pot. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. 3

    Combine Broth and Cream

    Pour in the vegetable broth, followed by the heavy cream. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

  4. 4

    Season the Soup

    Season the mixture with salt and black pepper. Bring the soup to a gentle simmer.

Final Touches

  1. 5

    Add Crab and Cheese

    Once the soup is simmering, gently fold in the lump crab meat and shredded pepper jack cheese. Allow the cheese to melt into the soup for about 5 minutes.

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the pot from heat and stir in the chopped fresh cilantro. Serve the soup hot, garnished with additional cilantro if desired.
