How to Make Healthier Corn And Crab Bisque

  1. Melt butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

  3. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  4. Gradually whisk in vegetable broth until smooth. Bring to a simmer.
  5. Add corn, salt, pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using). Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, or until corn is tender.
  6. Stir in light cream or coconut cream and lemon juice. Heat through gently, do not boil.
  7. Stir in crab meat and heat for 2-3 minutes, or just until heated through. Be careful not to overcook the crab.
