CURRIED CREAM OF CRAB SOUP



Curried Cream of Crab Soup image

Received in am email - created by David Jarrett. Like the sound of this variation of classic crab soup (something we love here) - the milk rather than cream will lighten it up a bit & the curry provides a nice complement to the crab. Of course we'll be using our "home grown" blue crab (- the best in the world IMAO LOL!) so I will be stashing this recipe to try later in the year when our own crabs are plentiful & heavy (so the picking won't be so arduous). A fresh green salad and crusty bread together with the soup makes a nice meal. Thanks David.

CRAB CURRY

A quick, easy meal with lots of flavor. Was served this at a friend's house when we were a guest there. Feel free to increase the curry powder if you like it hotter. This is very mild curry. You can also substitute cooked shrimp, lobster, or real crab for the imitation crab meat. Serve over Saffron Rice.

CURRIED CREAM OF ASPARAGUS SOUP WITH CRAB



Curried Cream of Asparagus Soup With Crab image

I created this for the Ready Set Cook contest in 2003. Morsels of mock crab in a spicy creamy asparagus soup. Microwaving the vegetables is a time and nutrient saver, but you could also boil or steam them.

Categories     Chowders

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 lb asparagus, ends trimmed, coarsely chopped
1 small onion, coarsely chopped
1 potato, diced
8 ounces surimi or 8 ounces imitation crabmeat, broken into small pieces
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon flour
3 tablespoons butter (or Smart Balance)
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon yellow curry powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 dash Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • Cook asparagus, onion, and potato (layered in that order) in a round covered casserole dish, with the chicken broth, in the microwave on high for 10 minutes (stirring 2-3 times).
  • When vegetables are tender, remove half of the potatoes and set them aside (you can also set aside the asparagus tips if you like).
  • Put the vegetables in a blender and puree until smooth (you may have to do it in two batches, depending on the size of your blender). Alternately, put them in a pot and use a hand blender.
  • Put the puree in a pot on medium heat and whisk in 1 T flour. Stir until smooth and soup begins to boil.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low (simmering) and add the remaining potatoes to the pot.
  • Stir in the butter, milk, garlic, curry, cayenne, black pepper, salt and Worcestershire, and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Add the crab (and asparagus tips if you saved them) and simmer for 5 minutes.
