My next would be a Tablespoon of Adobo. You can buy a small can of Adobo peppers that are in the sauce and you can scoop the sauce out. Last, would be cayenne pepper or chili powder. I hope that helps. Hello, I have not made this recipe yet but have tried other recipes. I am wondering how to get a semi sweet, creamy crab bisque.
We got to a restaurant here in STL called J. Just curious if this recipe tasted a little sweet or not. This recipe for crab bisque is everything it claims to be! I made it true to the recipe except for the addition of 2 tsp of Old Bay seasoning since hubby is a Maryland man and everything seafood must have Old Bay on it!
The bisque is beyond incredible for so little work and effort. This recipe will stay close to my kitchen counters as I know I will be making it often. Hi Susan. I have to be honest here, this soup is undoubtedly one of my favorite foods on the planet!
I have never used Sherry. Is this a cooking sherry or a drinking sherry? Sorry if this is a dumb question. I know nothing about Sherry. This is one of my all time favorite recipes! ACV and it may have been a bit too much, had to add more cream and flour but, definetly tasty! Thanks for the reminder.
Thank you so much for this. I have been looking for something like this. I just made it and my family loved it and so do I. I added a little cayenne pepper. I added Sheri last.. Tasted it just before and loved it.
Personal preference. And is 1. He kept it clean, and told us that the male crabs have the Washington Monument on their undersides. The females have the capitol building on their bellies. After returning from that trip to Charleston, I was determined to find and re-create the best She Crab soup I had had.
Most recipes call for fresh crabs. In a perfect, very French world, you would use the shells of the crabs, and make a super rich stock. Obviously this is not always practical.
Bisques are enriched with cream, think of Tomato Bisque. What gives this bisque that certain ineffable quality, is the addition of sherry. I also like to add a shot of sherry just before serving for an extra kick.
If you can find fish stock, substitute that for the bottled clam juice and chicken stock. Many recipes start with a thicker bechamel sauce, but I prefer a lighter soup. Rice is traditionally used in bisques as a method of thickening, which also makes this soup gluten free. Surprising, this is a very rich soup, yet uses only a bit of heavy cream at the end. Start with finely diced vegetables. These will be cooked and then pureed with the stock. The pureed vegetables will give the soup base flavor and body.
Deglaze the pan with the white wine. Add tomato paste and stir until blended. Add seasoning. Old Bay seasoning will give it a bit of a kick. Add more if you like. After the vegetables are tender, remove the soup from the heat and blend the base in a blender.
You can use a immersion blender, but I find that a blender makes a much smoother soup. A word of caution when blending a hot soup. Then cover the lid with a towel and hold the lid while blending. Transfer the blended soup to a sauce-pan. Add the crab meat and heat it just until the soup is heated through.
Add cream and adjust the seasonings. Looking for more seafood and fish dishes? You might like… Crab Cakes. Pan-fried Dover Sole. Scallops with Beurre Blanc. Read more This sounds wonderful.

I love seafood bisiques and this she-crab bisque sounds beyond amazing! Hi Kim, It makes about 6 cups. I was looking for a low fat She Crab Soup recipe. If the crab came in that morning, or even the day before, it should be good. If it is 3 or 4 days, I would wait until the next shipment. Make sure that you get a crab that is at least 2 pounds.
If they don't have any that big displayed, ask if they have any more in the back. Have them clean the crabs and crack them. To make this creamy, flavorful crab bisque, you will need to make some homemade shellfish stock , so it pays to keep your leftover shells and freeze them until you have the occasion to make the stock. Making stock isn't hard, like making chicken stock , it just takes time.
You can freeze it in advance of using it. Bisques are soups that are traditionally made with a seafood base or stock. They're smooth, creamy, and a little thick, but not super thick. Taking the time to make your own shellfish stock for this bisque is well worth it, but you can make it without that step by substituting any of following for homemade shellfish stock; know that the flavor won't be quite the same.
To make this alcohol-free, use stock spiked with a teaspoon or so of vinegar instead of the white wine. If you're buying any type of fresh crab and picking the crab meat out yourself, clean and cook the crabs first. In addition to Dungeness crab, you can also use these crab varieties. This creamy bisque would be fantastic with cheese biscuits or simple oyster crackers. To make this a meal, serve it with asparagus , a fresh, crisp green salad, or grilled cheese.
The directions call for separated shells and crab meat. If you're using fresh crab, clean and cook it before picking the crab out of the shells. Several sprigs parsley. Before making the bisque, you'll need to make the shellfish stock see these instructions for details and photos.
If you have large pieces of crab shell, you'll want to break them into smaller pieces. A good way to do this is to put them in a plastic freezer bag and use a rolling pin or wine bottle to roll over them to break them up a bit.
Don't crush them. That will help bring out more of the crab flavor. Put the crab shells in a large stock pot and cover with an inch of water. Put the heat on medium high and slowly heat up the water.
When you see little bubbles of air starting to rise to the surface, lower the heat to medium. Do not let the water boil! The bubbles should only occasionally come up to the surface. Do not stir! Stirring the shells will muddy the stock. As foam develops on the surface of the water, skim it away with a large spoon. Keep skimming off the foam every so often, and maintaining the heat at just below a simmer, for about an hour.
Once the stock is no longer generating foam, add the wine, carrots, onions, celery, tomato paste, thyme, bay leaves, parsley and peppercorns.
