Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ⅓ cup finely chopped shallots
- 1 quart (4 cups) seafood stock
- 1 cup white rice
- ¾ cup white wine
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 16 ounces crab meat, divided
- 1¼ cups heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the shallots and saute until they are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the stock, rice, wine and tomato paste, increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 25 minutes.
- Stir two-thirds of the crab meat into the soup, then transfer it to a blender (work in batches if you have a small blender) and puree until smooth. Return the pureed soup to the saucepan and place over medium-low heat.
- Stir in the remaining crab meat, cream, salt and cayenne pepper. Heat until the cream and crab meat are warmed through, about 5 minutes. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
