Method

Soup Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

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

  2. 2

    Add Broth

    Pour in the chicken or seafood broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for an additional 10 minutes.

Creamy Base Creation

  1. 3

    Mix Cream and Cornstarch

    In a separate bowl, combine the heavy cream and cornstarch. Mix well until there are no lumps.

  2. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Slowly add the cream mixture to the pot, stirring continuously to avoid curdling. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes until the soup thickens.

    Gently fold in the lump crab meat, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Allow the soup to heat through for 3-5 minutes.
