Healthy Crab Bisque
Time: 20 minutes prep, 25 minutes cook
Servings: 8
Directions
- To Prepare Relish:
- Combine avocado, corn, tomato, lime juice, salt and pepper in a small bowl; toss to coat. Set aside and let stand at room temperature while you prepare the bisque.
- To Prepare Bisque:
- Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add corn, onion and bell pepper; cook, stirring often, until the onion and pepper have softened, about 5 minutes. Add in the potato and paprika; cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes. Add in sherry and cook, scraping up any browned bits until liquid has reduced slightly, about 5 minutes. Add in the broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are very tender, about 15 minutes.
- Working in two batches, puree the vegetable mixture in a blender or food processor. Return puree to saucepan; stir in milk, crab and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve each portion of bisque with about 1/4 cup relish; sprinkle with additional paprika, if desired.
