Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1 stalk Celery
- 2 medium Shallot
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 3 cups Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 pound Fresh crab meat
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chives
Instructions
Finely chop the celery and shallots, and mince the garlic.
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the chopped celery, shallots, and garlic. Sauté them for approximately 5 minutes until they become translucent and fragrant.
Stir in the cayenne pepper and paprika, and continue to cook for another minute to release their flavors.
Add the tomato paste to the pot and stir well to combine with the vegetables and spices.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Once simmering, add the heavy cream and cream cheese. Stir continuously until the cream cheese is fully melted and incorporated, creating a smooth base.
Reduce the heat to low, and gently fold in the fresh crab meat. Allow the bisque to simmer on low for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Season the bisque with salt and black pepper to taste.
Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool slightly. For a smoother texture, blend the bisque using an immersion blender to your desired consistency.
Reheat if necessary, and serve hot with a garnish of chopped chives on top.
