Steps:
- In a saute pan, make the blonde roux first. Melt butter on low-medium heat, then add flour and wisk continuosly for about 10 minutes until it starts to turn light blonde color and smells a little 'nutty'. Time may vary; it's more about the color and smell.
- Add roux in a cold stock pot to stop the cooking, and add cold chicken stock and corn. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce to simmer, add fresh garlic and garlic flakes, thyme, and rosemary (if desired). Simmer for 10-12 minutes.
- Add cream, crab, cajun seasoning, crab boil seasoning. Simmer another 10 minutes.
- Add half the green onion, and half the parsley, mix and serve. Garnish with remaining green onion and parsley.
- Optional: can add gouda, cheddar, or blue cheese for little kick!

NEW ORLEAN'S CORN AND CRAB BISQUE (OR SHRIMP)
You will need to make corn stock AND shrimp stock. I suggest using shrimp since the stock will be used anyway. You may also add a little cornstarch dissolved in water at the end if you prefer this to be slightly thicker. Prep time includes time for stocks.

Steps:
- Crabs: Preheat oven to 425 F. Place crabs on a roasting pan and bake in the oven about 30 minutes, until deep red and slightly browned. In a stockpot set over medium heat, add olive oil and roasted crabs, breaking them up with a wooden spoon as they cook, 5 minutes. Add onion, bell pepper, and celery (the "holy trinity" of Cajun cooking) and stir, cooking just till the vegetables soften, 5 minutes.
- Stock: Add wine and stir to deglaze the pan. Turn heat to high and cook 6-8 minutes, until the wine has nearly evaporated. Add tomato paste and water. Stir, bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat. Cover and simmer, 45 minutes.
- Bisque: Remove the crab shells from the stock and discard. (If you miss a couple small pieces of shell, don't worry: they'll get strained out later.) Ladle the stock into the blender, then add the juice of half a lemon and ¾ cup bread cubes. Season with a big pinch of salt and a small pinch of pepper. Cover and let sit so the bread can absorb some of the liquid, 30-60 seconds. Blend on low speed (to avoid splattering hot liquid) for 30 seconds. As the soup blends, turn to high to emulsify, 1 more minute. Taste to adjust for seasoning and texture-the soup should coat the back of a spoon. Add remaining bread, small pinches of salt and pepper, and blend on high to further thicken and emulsify, 1½ more minutes. Taste again for seasoning, then strain through a chinois to remove any small shell pieces, using the back of a ladle to push the soup through into a bowl.
- Assembly: Ladle bisque into individual serving bowls. Chop chives into ½-inch lengths (you should have about a ½ cup total). Garnish each bowl with crab meat and chives. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat; then gradually whisk in the flour. Cook 5 to 7 minutes, whisking constantly, until a golden roux forms; set aside.
- Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Combine the onion, garlic, and celery and cook 1 minute. Add the Cajun seasoning to taste. Stir in the broth, corn, and bay leaf. Bring to a simmer, then pour in the milk, cream, and liquid crab boil. When the mixture begins to simmer, reduce heat to low and simmer 7 minutes. Stir in the roux, 1 tablespoon at a time, blending thoroughly. Continue to cook, on low heat, whisking until mixture thickens. Stir in crabmeat, green onions, and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer 6 to 8 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh corn and crab. If you can't find fresh crab, you can use frozen crab, but be sure to thaw it completely before using it.
- Be careful not to overcook the corn or crab. The corn should be tender but still have a slight crunch, and the crab should be cooked through but not rubbery.
- If you don't have a blender, you can mash the corn and crab with a fork or potato masher.
- Serve the bisque hot with crusty bread or crackers.
- Add a dollop of sour cream or crème fraîche to each bowl of bisque for an extra touch of richness.
- Garnish the bisque with chopped fresh parsley or chives before serving.
