Low Carb Crab Bisque image

Easy peasy. Twenty minutes. Delicious. We make it with the 1-lb can of crab claw meat which is terrific (Trader Joe's, Lucky Market in the refrigerated seafood section) and runs about $9.)

Provided by One Happy Woman

Categories     Crab

Time 20m

Yield 6 , 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb canned crabmeat (or fresh, if you have it, can afford it!)
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
8 ounces low-fat cream cheese
1 tablespoon butter
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
2 cups chicken stock or 2 cups seafood stock
1 cup white wine
1 1/2 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning

Steps:

  • Saute the chopped vegetables in the butter and Old Bay Seasoning.
  • Add the stock, wine and tomatoes and simmer until vegetables are soft. Use less stock if you like a thicker bisque - one reviewer mentioned this was a little thin for her taste: no problem withholding, then adding some of the stock at the end until you get it the way you like it!
  • Melt the cream cheese into the stock/vegetable mixture.
  • Add the crab, heat and serve.
  • Note: I use Redi-Base seafood stock base, available on line.

Tips:

  • Use fresh crab meat for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh crab meat, you can use frozen crab meat, but be sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • Don't overcook the crab meat. Crab meat is delicate and cooks quickly. Overcooked crab meat will be tough and chewy.
  • Use a good quality fish stock. The fish stock is the base of the bisque, so it's important to use a good quality stock. You can make your own fish stock or use a store-bought stock.
  • Add vegetables to your liking. The recipe calls for carrots, celery, and onions, but you can add other vegetables that you like, such as leeks, fennel, or potatoes.
  • Season the bisque to taste. The recipe calls for salt, pepper, and Old Bay seasoning, but you can adjust the seasonings to your own taste.
  • Serve the bisque with your favorite toppings. Popular toppings include croutons, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped fresh herbs.

Conclusion:

Low-carb crab bisque is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's also a great way to use up leftover crab meat. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a bisque that is both flavorful and satisfying. So next time you're looking for a low-carb meal, give this recipe a try.
