How to Make Decadent And Easy Crab Bisque

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 medium chopped yellow onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in 2 teaspoons of all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  3. Gradually whisk in 3 cups of half-and-half, stirring until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
  5. In a jar with a lid, combine 2 teaspoons of flour and 1 cup of half-and-half. Shake vigorously until the flour is completely dissolved.
  6. Gradually whisk the flour mixture into the simmering soup.
  7. Continue whisking until the soup has thickened to your desired consistency, about 2-3 minutes.
  8. Gently stir in 1 1/2 pounds of lump crab meat and cook for 5 minutes, or until heated through. Do not overcook!
  9. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with 2 tablespoons of snipped fresh chives, if desired.
