ROASTED RED PEPPER AND CRAB SOUP



Roasted Red Pepper and Crab Soup image

Although this is not a typical traditional holiday recipe, it has become a Christmas day buffet favorite in our family. Several years ago, we decided to forgo our traditional big sit-down dinner for a buffet because of everyone's increasingly different visiting/family obligations on that day. Everyone could eat whenever or if they chose to. I'd had this soup, which I loved, at several different restaurants over time. Through trial and error, I came up with my own recipe, which has been a hit. I serve it with a dollop of creme fraiche.

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Soup Recipes     Seafood

Time 1h40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 red bell peppers, seeded and cut into quarters
1 (32 ounce) carton chicken broth
1 large potato, peeled and coarsely chopped
1 quart half-and-half cream
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper to taste
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon dried basil
1 pound cooked crabmeat, flaked

Steps:

  • Set the oven to broil, and preheat for 5 minutes.
  • Place the red bell pepper quarters skin-side up on a broiler pan or baking sheet. Broil until the skins have blackened, then place them in a brown paper bag, or in a covered bowl and allow them to steam for approximately 10 minutes to loosen the skins.
  • Once the skins have loosened, peel them off and discard. Coarsely chop the peeled, roasted peppers, and place into a large saucepan along with the chicken broth and chopped potato. Bring to a boil over high heat, then add the half-and-half, salt, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and basil. Return to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer for 45 minutes.
  • Once the potatoes have softened, puree the soup in batches in a blender until smooth. Pour the pureed soup into another saucepan and stir in the crab. Heat over medium heat to warm through, about 5 minutes.

ROASTED RED PEPPER SAUCE FOR CRAB CAKES



Roasted Red Pepper Sauce for Crab Cakes image

Also good on grilled fish and grilled chicken. Different from those posted here already and easy, made with ingredients you probably keep on hand: jar roasted red peppers, garlic cloves, olive oil, lemon juice, red pepper sauce, mayo and salt and pepper. You can use low fat mayo to cut calories. For about 10 crab cakes, using 1 lb. crab, you may want to make half the recipe. We had a lot left over.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Yield Makes 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
10 tablespoons olive oil
1 small red onion, finely diced
1 small red bell pepper, finely diced
4 stalks celery, finely diced
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon hot-pepper sauce
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 pound lump crabmeat, drained and picked to remove shells
3/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh basil
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
Roasted Red-Pepper Dip for Crab Cakes

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, heat butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, celery, Worcestershire sauce, pepper sauce, salt, and pepper; saute until the vegetables have softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
  • Transfer the cooled vegetable mixture to a medium bowl. Add crabmeat, breadcrumbs, basil, mayonnaise, mustard, and eggs, and stir to combine well. With your hands, shape mixture into 2-inch patties.
  • Heat oven to 250 degrees. In a large saute pan, heat 4 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add 8 to 10 crab cakes, and cook until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels. Transfer crab cakes to a baking sheet, and keep warm in the oven. Repeat, cooking the remaining crab cakes, adding remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil as needed. Serve hot with roasted red-pepper dip.

Tips:

  • For the best crab cakes, use fresh crab meat. If using frozen crab meat, thaw it completely before using.
  • Do not overmix the crab cake mixture. Overmixing will make the crab cakes tough.
  • Gently fold the crab cake mixture together. Do not press or pack it.
  • Use a large skillet or griddle to cook the crab cakes. This will help to prevent them from sticking.
  • Cook the crab cakes over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from burning.
  • Do not flip the crab cakes too often. Flipping them too often will break them up.
  • Serve the crab cakes with your favorite dipping sauce. Roasted red pepper dip is a great option.

Conclusion:

Crab cakes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or sandwich. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect crab cakes at home. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
