EASY CREAMY CRAB AND ASPARAGUS SOUP



Easy Creamy Crab and Asparagus Soup image

Creamy soup with crab, potatoes, and asparagus. I made this on a whim one Sunday when crabmeat was on sale at the store. It comes together quickly and is very tasty! You could easily replace the asparagus with another vegetable with equally good results.

ASPARAGUS, CRAB & TARRAGON BISQUE SHANACHIE



Asparagus, Crab & Tarragon Bisque Shanachie image

This was a demonstration recipe at Charlotte Anne Albertson's Cooking School (Wynnewood, PA), for "Awesome Soups with Brian Duffy" (Jan 24, 2006). Brian Duffy (http://www.chefduff.com) hosted the Food Network shows "Date Plate" and "Hot Trends 2005" and is executive chef at Shanachie, an Irish restaurant in Ambler, PA. Shanachie specializes in soups ... and this is one of their most frequently requested seafood soups, especially in the spring, when fresh asparagus is available. Crab claw meat is less expensive and more flavorful than lump crab meat and so is the ingredient of choice. Recipe will make 3/4 gallon, approximately 12 8 oz servings.

Provided by Gandalf The White

Categories     Crab

Time 1h10m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 1/2 lbs fresh asparagus
1 quart heavy cream
1 onion, medium dice
1/4 bunch celery, medium dice
1/2 carrot, medium dice
3/4 tablespoon onion powder
1/4 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning
3/4 tablespoon dry tarragon
1 1/2 sprigs fresh tarragon
1/2 gallon water
2 teaspoons salt (to taste)
2 teaspoons white pepper (to taste)
1/2 lb unsalted butter
1/2 lb flour
3/4 lb crabmeat

Steps:

  • Slice the asparagus tips (about 1- 1 1/2 inches) off the spears and reserve. Slice the asparagus spears into thin slices.
  • In a large soup pot, combine all the ingredients except the crab and the asparagus. Add 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp pepper.
  • Bring to a simmer, then let the vegetables soften and the flavors meld for about 10 minutes. DO NOT allow the liquid to boil at this time.
  • Make the roux: add the butter to a sautee pan under medium heat; when the butter has melted, add the flour, mix until the flour has cooked but retains a light color (about 5-7 minutes).
  • NOTE: any extra roux can be frozen and used at a later time.
  • Puree the liquid and vegetables, preferably using an immersion blender. If you must use a stand blender (or food processor), put in small batches (no more than 1/3-1/2 the volume of the blender container), so you don't send hot liquid all around and burn yourself.
  • Strain through a chinois (china cap) or through cheesecloth.
  • Return the liquid to the soup pot, bring to a boil, and thicken with the roux. Turn the heat down so the liquid simmers but does not boil. Adjust seasonging (salt and pepper) as needed.
  • Add the crab and heat for 20-30 minutes.
  • Add the asparagus slices (but NOT the tips) to the soup, allow to simmer for about 10 minutes. Adjust seasoning (salt and pepper) as needed.
  • Plate into individual soup bowls, garnish with asparagus tips. Serve hot.

BLUE CRAB BISQUE



Blue Crab Bisque image

Blue crab bisque is classic New Orleans cuisine with serious French influences. Garnish with jumbo lump crabmeat for an authentic down-at-the-bayou bowl of soul.

Provided by Justin Devillier

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 large blue crab shells, fresh or frozen
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
3 yellow onions, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 rib celery, diced
1 cup white wine
4 cups Water
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 lemon
1 cup day-old bread cubes, divided, any white bread
kosher salt
ground white pepper
4 ounces lump blue crab meat, picked over
1/2 bunch chives

Steps:

  • Crabs: Preheat oven to 425 F. Place crabs on a roasting pan and bake in the oven about 30 minutes, until deep red and slightly browned. In a stockpot set over medium heat, add olive oil and roasted crabs, breaking them up with a wooden spoon as they cook, 5 minutes. Add onion, bell pepper, and celery (the "holy trinity" of Cajun cooking) and stir, cooking just till the vegetables soften, 5 minutes.
  • Stock: Add wine and stir to deglaze the pan. Turn heat to high and cook 6-8 minutes, until the wine has nearly evaporated. Add tomato paste and water. Stir, bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat. Cover and simmer, 45 minutes.
  • Bisque: Remove the crab shells from the stock and discard. (If you miss a couple small pieces of shell, don't worry: they'll get strained out later.) Ladle the stock into the blender, then add the juice of half a lemon and ¾ cup bread cubes. Season with a big pinch of salt and a small pinch of pepper. Cover and let sit so the bread can absorb some of the liquid, 30-60 seconds. Blend on low speed (to avoid splattering hot liquid) for 30 seconds. As the soup blends, turn to high to emulsify, 1 more minute. Taste to adjust for seasoning and texture-the soup should coat the back of a spoon. Add remaining bread, small pinches of salt and pepper, and blend on high to further thicken and emulsify, 1½ more minutes. Taste again for seasoning, then strain through a chinois to remove any small shell pieces, using the back of a ladle to push the soup through into a bowl.
  • Assembly: Ladle bisque into individual serving bowls. Chop chives into ½-inch lengths (you should have about a ½ cup total). Garnish each bowl with crab meat and chives. Serve immediately.
