Ingredients
-
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
-
1 large leek, thinly sliced
-
1 cup finely chopped celery
-
1 ½ teaspoons smoked paprika
-
2 tablespoons unsalted tomato paste
-
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
-
3 cups unsalted chicken broth or seafood stock
-
2 tablespoons dry sherry
-
2 ½ cups half-and-half
-
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
-
⅛ teaspoon salt
-
1 pound fresh lump crabmeat, drained and picked over, divided
-
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
-
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Directions
-
Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat, about 1 minute. Add leek, celery and smoked paprika; cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are slightly tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomato paste; cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add flour; cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Gradually add broth (or stock) and sherry, stirring constantly and scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits.
-
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium-high heat; stir in half-and-half, cayenne and salt. Reserve 6 tablespoons crabmeat; stir the remaining crabmeat into the soup. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through and flavors meld, about 10 minutes.
-
Combine the reserved 6 tablespoons crabmeat in a small bowl with parsley and lemon juice. Divide the bisque among 6 bowls and top each with 1 tablespoon of the crabmeat mixture.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
