CORN AND CRAB BISQUE

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a pan. Add the corn, onion, celery, bell pepper and garlic, and sauté until tender. Whisk in the flour to make a white roux. Do not brown. Strain the stock through a fine mesh strainer. Slowly add the stock to the roux, then reduce heat and let simmer for 30 minutes. Add heavy cream, green onion and parsley. Cook for 3 more minutes, then gently fold in crabmeat. Be careful to not break up the large chunks of crabmeat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

CORN AND CRAB BISQUE

• In a large sauce pot, heat the olive oil. When the oil is smoking hot, add the onions, corn, shallots, garlic, celery and saute for 1 minute. Season with Essence. Add the stock, and bay leaves. Season with salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil. Whisk in the milk, cream, and crab boil.Bring back to a boil, reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 5-7 minutes. Whisk in the roux, 1 tablespoon at a time. Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook, whisking until the mixture thickens. Stir in the crab meat, green onions, and Worcestershire and simmer for 6-8 minutes. Reseason if needed. Ladle into a shallow bowl and garnish with chives.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

CREAMY CRAB BISQUE

Steps:

• Spread the crab legs and claws over a baking sheet or pan and bake at 350º F until heated through (6-8 minutes if thawed, 12-16 minutes if frozen, depending on packages instructions). Let them cool. Once cool to the touch, crack the shells open with crab shell crackers or strong scissors, and carefully remove the meat, setting it into a large bowl. Reserve your crab shells in a separate bowl.
• Roughly chop the crab meat. You can leave a few larger lumps for soup garnish if you wish. When done, cover the crab meat and place it in the fridge.
• In a large stockpot or Dutch oven, bring your veg or seafood broth to a simmer. Add the crab shells to the broth and let simmer for about 20 minutes. When done, place a strainer over another pot in the sink, and carefully pour the broth into the pot through the strainer to catch any shells and bits. Set the broth aside.
• Give your original stockpot a quick rinse to rid of any possible shells or bits that might have been missed. Set on top of the stove over medium heat. Add the butter and heat until melted.
• Stir in the onion, garlic, carrots, and celery, and cook until soft and tender-about 5 minutes.
• Transfer your strained broth to your stockpot with the veggies and bring to a boil. Stir in the bay leaves, smoked paprika pepper, old bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Simmer for about 10 minutes.
• Discard the bay leaves and carefully transfer the soup to a high-powered blender. Do this in batches if you must. Blend until smooth. Transfer the smooth soup back to the stockpot on the stove. (If you have a good immersion blender, you can keep the soup in the stockpot and blend it right in there.)
• Over medium heat, bring the soup to a low simmer. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to blend.
• In a small bowl, mix the corn starch and milk vigorously with a fork; ensure there are no clumps. Then, slowly stir this mixture into the simmering soup, stirring constantly to thicken.
• Reduce heat to low, stir in crab meat, and simmer until warmed through-about 5 minutes.
• Serve and garnish with a drizzle of cream, chopped fresh parsley, and lumpy crab meat if you reserve some.

CORN AND CRAB BISQUE

Steps:

• Melt the butter over medium heat in a large heavy pot. Add the corn flour and onions and cook, stirring, until lightly browned and smelling of toasted nuts, about 4 minutes. Stir in the sugar, garlic powder, onion powder and black pepper. Immediately add the cream, corn and 4 quarts of water. Let simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until thickened and the corn is cooked and tender, about 40 minutes. Taking care, blend the bisque in batches until smooth. Add the salt and pepper to taste. To serve, divide the crabmeat among 6 bowls and top with the hot bisque (which will lightly cook the crab). Garnish with the green onions.

HEALTHIER CORN AND CRAB BISQUE

Steps:

• Sweat the onion, celery, and bell pepper in butter and oil until soft.
• Add garlic toward the end so it doesn't burn.
• Add flour, and cook, stirring constantly, just until it starts to take on a little color.
• Add chicken broth and bring to a boil. (At this point, you can puree with a stick blender if you like a smoother consistency. I like it either way. If you plan to puree, use a yellow bell pepper so the color doesn't go off.).
• Add salt, pepper, and crab boil to taste. (I think Zatarain's has the best flavor for this, but be careful, it is potent stuff. If you can't get crab boil in your area, just use a little cayenne pepper.).
• Add crabmeat, and cook until done.
• Add corn and half and half, heat through.
