Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Dice the celery, onion, carrot and red pepper into small pieces. (This makes blending the soup easier with an immersion blender)
* Step 2
Melt butter in a stock pot.
* Step 3
Add diced vegetables and heat over moderate heat for 5-6 minutes until they are softened.
* Step 4
Add wine and cook for 2 minutes loosening anything stuck to the pan
* Step 5
Add the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes
* Step 6
Add the Old Bay Seasoning, paprika and black pepper and cook for one minute
* Step 7
Add clam juice, chicken broth and Worcestershire sauce. Heat to a simmer.
Simmer covered for 15-20 minutes until vegetables and rice are soft. Stirring 2-3 times.
* Step 8
Remove from heat and using an immersion blender, blend until smooth. (Can also be done in a blender in batches so you don’t burn yourself)
* Step 9
Heat again until it simmers.
* Step 11
Slowly add the cream while you whisk the soup (this will help break the crab into smaller pieces)
* Step 12
Cook just until hot. DO NOT BOIL! Be sure to stir continuously until heated.
* Step 13
You can serve immediately but I have found this soup improves if it sits in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours.
