  1. 1st Step – Prepare the Seafood: Let’s start by melting 2 tablespoons of butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the crab meat and shrimp, letting them cook until the shrimp turn a beautiful shade of pink and the crab meat is warmed through. Once they’re ready, set aside this delectable seafood medley for later.
  2. 2nd Step – Make the Base: Now, in that same pot, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Toss in the onion, celery, carrot, and garlic, letting them sizzle until they’re soft and fragrant – about 5 minutes should do the trick. Sprinkle in the flour, stirring constantly for an additional 2 minutes until it forms a golden roux.
  3. 3rd Step – Add the Broth: Time to pour in the seafood or chicken broth, slowly and steadily, stirring all the while to avoid any lumps. Let this delightful concoction simmer away for 10-15 minutes until the veggies are tender and the broth has thickened ever so slightly.
    • 4th Step – Blend the Bisque: Grab your trusty immersion blender (or a regular blender if you prefer), and puree the soup until it’s smooth as silk. We’re aiming for a velvety texture here, folks – think luxurious and indulgent.
    • 5th Step – Add the Cream and Seasonings: Now, stir in that heavy cream, dry sherry, bay leaves, and paprika, letting all those flavors meld together in perfect harmony. Season with salt and pepper to taste, because we’re all about that balance.
    • 6th Step – Simmer and Serve: Bring back the cooked seafood, letting it simmer in the bisque for an extra 5-10 minutes to soak up all that deliciousness. Just remember to fish out those bay leaves before serving – nobody wants a surprise leaf in their bowl!
    • 7th Step – Garnish and Enjoy: Ladle your seafood bisque into bowls, sprinkling each with a generous handful of chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Serve it piping hot, alongside some crusty bread or buttery crackers for dipping and dunking.
