In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, celery, and carrots. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are soft.

Prepare the Base

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to combine, cooking for 2 more minutes.

Add Garlic and Flour

Gradually add the chicken broth while stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Incorporate Broth

Stir in the blue crab meat, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Let the bisque simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Add Crab and Seasonings

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Allow the bisque to heat through without boiling.

Finish with Cream

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