Method

Making the Broth

  1. 1

    Sautéing the Base

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.

  2. 2

    Adding Aromatics

    Stir in the minced garlic, diced celery, and diced carrot. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until vegetables are softened.

  3. 3

    Creating the Broth

    Pour in the vegetable or fish stock while scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze. Add the bay leaf, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer.

  4. 4

    Simmering

    Let the broth simmer for about 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Adding Crab Meat

  1. 5

    Incorporating the Crab

    After 20 minutes of simmering, gently add the fresh crab meat to the pot. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 5 minutes until heated through.

Finishing the Soup

  1. 6

    Creamy Texture

    Stir in the heavy cream and allow the soup to heat for another 3-5 minutes without boiling.

  2. 7

    Garnishing

    Remove the bay leaf, then stir in the chopped parsley and lemon juice just before serving.
