Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 1 stalk Celery
• 2 medium Shallot
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 3 cups Chicken broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 4 ounces Cream cheese
• 1 pound Fresh crab meat
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chives

Directions

Step 1

Finely chop the celery and shallots, and mince the garlic.

Step 2

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the chopped celery, shallots, and garlic. Sauté them for approximately 5 minutes until they become translucent and fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the cayenne pepper and paprika, and continue to cook for another minute to release their flavors.

Step 5

Add the tomato paste to the pot and stir well to combine with the vegetables and spices.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 7

Once simmering, add the heavy cream and cream cheese. Stir continuously until the cream cheese is fully melted and incorporated, creating a smooth base.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low, and gently fold in the fresh crab meat. Allow the bisque to simmer on low for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 9

Season the bisque with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 10

Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool slightly. For a smoother texture, blend the bisque using an immersion blender to your desired consistency.

Step 11

Reheat if necessary, and serve hot with a garnish of chopped chives on top.
