Base Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Create Roux

    Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the sautéed onions and garlic. Stir continuously for about 2 minutes to cook the flour, forming a roux.

  3. 3

    Add Broth

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

Cooking

  1. 4

    Incorporate Corn and Spices

    Add the sweet corn, cayenne pepper, paprika, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine and let simmer for about 10 minutes.

  2. 5

    Add Crab and Cream

    Fold in the fresh crab meat and heavy cream, stirring gently to combine. Let the bisque simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

  3. 6

    Finish and Serve

    Remove the pot from heat. Stir in the chopped fresh parsley for brightness. Serve the bisque hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
