Base Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and celery, and sauté until they are translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Create the Roux

    Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the sautéed vegetables, stirring constantly for about 2-3 minutes to create a roux. This will help thicken the bisque.

  4. 4

    Add Vegetable Broth

    Slowly pour in the vegetable broth while whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Cooking the Bisque

  1. 5

    Incorporate Heavy Cream

    Once the mixture is simmering, stir in the heavy cream and bring it back to a gentle simmer.

  2. 6

    Add Corn and Seasonings

    Add the white corn kernels, jumbo lump crabmeat, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and let it cook for about 10-15 minutes until heated through.

  3. 7

    Adjust Seasoning

    Taste the bisque and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper to taste.

Serving

  1. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Ladle the bisque into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped chives before serving. Enjoy your delicious Corn & Crab Bisque!
