Soup Base

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and celery, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Make the Roux

    Sprinkle the flour over the softened vegetables and stir to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes to form a roux, stirring constantly.

  4. 4

    Add Broth

    Gradually pour in the chicken or vegetable broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

  5. 5

    Incorporate Cream

    Once simmering, stir in the heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).

Final Steps

  1. 6

    Add Corn and Crab

    Fold in the sweet corn and jumbo lump crabmeat carefully to retain the crab's texture. Allow the bisque to simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  2. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley.
