Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

¼ cup Garlic Croutons (recipe follows) or store-brought garlic-flavored croutons
6-inch piece seedless English cucumber
1 large green bell pepper
1 garlic clove
3 cups canned tomato clam juice, chilled
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
½ teaspoon Tabasco
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
½ pound cooked, shelled, and deveined medium shrimp (see Jenn's "Boiled" Shrimp in Notes)
½ pound lump crabmeat

Steps:

  • Coarsely chop enough of the cucumber, with the skin left on, and the bell pepper to make ½ cup of each. Finely chop the rest (about 1 cup of each). Smash the garlic and remove the skin. Combine 1 cup tomato-clam juice, the coarsely chopped cucumber and bell pepper, the lemon juice, olive oil, vinegar, sugar, garlic, and hot sauce in a blender. Blend until the vegetables are pureed. Stir in the remaining 2 cups tomato-clam juice. Add 1 teaspoon salt and black pepper to taste. Quarter the shrimp crosswise. Combine the tomato mixture, shrimp, crabmeat, and the remaining cucumber and bell pepper in a glass or metal bowl. Set the bowl into a bowl of ice and water for 10 minutes to quick-chill the soup. To serve, divide the chilled soup among 4 large chilled seafood cocktail glasses or soup plates and top with the croutons.
