Tomato Crab Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-low heat. Add the fennel and leeks and season with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and the red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are just tender, about 25 minutes.
• Add the Sambuca and cook until evaporated, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, chicken broth, heavy cream and ½ cup water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat; cook until the fennel is soft, about 15 minutes.
• Working in batches, transfer the soup to a blender and puree until smooth (or puree in the pot with an immersion blender). Return the soup to the pot; return to a simmer and season with salt. Top each serving with the crab and fennel fronds.

Steps:

• Melt butter in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add 3/4 of crabmeat, tomato, 1/3 cup chopped fresh basil, and garlic. Sauté 2 minutes. Whisk in flour; stir 2 minutes. Whisk in clam-tomato juice and next 5 ingredients. Reduce heat to low and simmer until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Cool soup slightly.
• Puree soup in batches in blender until smooth. Return soup to pot. Stir in 3/4 cup water and lemon juice; bring to simmer. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Chill uncovered until cold, then cover and keep refrigerated. Bring to simmer before continuing.) Divide soup among 6 bowls. Sprinkle with remaining crab and 3 tablespoons basil and serve.

Steps:

• Saute onion and bell pepper till soft.
• Add crab meat, milks and soup.
• I add salt, pepper, garlic salt, crab boil, seafood seasoning- whatever floats your boat.
• Sometimes I add corn- frozen.
• I add or lessen the milks as to how much I am making- sometimes I add some stewed tomatoes.
• Can be made thicker and served over rice- also good with shrimp.
• Do not boil- the milks will separate and it will be ruined! SIMMER ONLY!
• Good on a cold day!

Steps:

• In a medium-size saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
• Saute onion and garlic until tender.
• Stir in flour, salt, and pepper; continue stirring and cooking until bubbly.
• Gradually add the cream, tomato juice, worcestershire sauce, savory, and hot pepper sauce.
• Bring mixture to a boil, stirring constantly.
• Add in the crab; stir until heated through.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper if needed.
• Ladle soup into individual serving bowls.
• Add a dollop of sour cream and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
