Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 2 cups seafood stock or chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup dry white wine (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- ½ lb fresh or canned crab meat picked clean of shells
- salt and pepper to taste
- chopped parsley or chives (for garnish)
Instructions
- Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic until softened.
- Sprinkle in flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes.
- Gradually whisk in the seafood stock, ensuring no lumps form. Add cream, wine, paprika, and cayenne. Simmer for 10 minutes.
- Stir in crab meat and season with salt and pepper. Heat through without boiling.
- Ladle into bowls, garnish with parsley or chives, and serve warm.
Notes
- Make Ahead: Prepare the bisque up to the step before adding the crab meat. Refrigerate for up to 2 days, then reheat and add crab meat before serving.
- Customizing the Flavor: Add a splash of sherry or cognac for extra depth. For a richer bisque, stir in an additional ¼ cup of cream.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve with crusty bread, oyster crackers, or a side salad. Garnish with parsley or chives for a touch of color.
- Storage Tips: Store leftover bisque in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop to avoid curdling.
