Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 stalks celery stalks, diced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 pound cooked crab meat
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, celery, garlic, and red bell pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the diced potatoes and cook for another 2 minutes.
Pour in the vegetable broth, and add the bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.
Simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
Remove the bay leaf and use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully blend small batches in a blender and return to the pot.
Add the coconut milk, crab meat, sea salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine.
Simmer for another 5 minutes, until the crab is heated through.
Stir in the fresh parsley and lemon juice just before serving.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
