Method

Cooking the Soup

  1. 1

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and celery, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they become soft and translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Make the Roux

    Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the sautéed vegetables and stir continuously for about 2-3 minutes to create a roux. This will help thicken the soup.

  3. 3

    Add the Stock

    Gradually whisk in the fish stock, ensuring there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Stir in the Cream and Crab

    Add the heavy cream and the crab meat to the pot. Stir well to combine and let the soup simmer for another 5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Add the Sherry

    Pour in the sherry and allow the soup to simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Serving the Soup

  1. 6

    Prepare the Garnish

    While the soup is simmering, prepare the garnishes by chopping the chives and grilling the bread until crispy.

  2. 7

    Serve the Soup

    Ladle the hot soup into bowls. Add a dollop of crème fraîche on top of each serving and sprinkle with chopped chives. Serve with slices of grilled bread on the side.
