How to Make Crab And Corn Bisque

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium soup pot over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of curry powder. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
  3. While the roux cooks, add 2 cups of fresh or frozen corn kernels to a food processor or blender and pulse until finely chopped. Alternatively, you can use 2 (15-ounce) cans of creamed corn.
  4. Add the chopped corn to the onion mixture and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk and 1 cup of heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes.
  7. Stir in 1 1/2 cups of cooked crab meat. Gently heat through; do not boil.
  8. (Optional) Stir in 4 ounces of diced green chiles for a spicier bisque.
  9. Serve hot, garnished with fresh chives or a sprinkle of paprika (optional).
