Title: The Soup Nazi's Crab Bisque
Categories: Copycat, Seafood, Soups
Yield: 6 Servings

4 lb Snow crab clusters (legs)
4 qt Water
1 sm Onion; chopped
1 1/2 Celery ribs; chopped
2 cl Garlic; quartered
2 Potatoes; peeled & chopped
1/4 c Fresh Italian parsley;
- chopped
2 ts Mustard seed
1 tb Pimento; chopped
1/2 ts Pepper; coarse ground
2 Bay leaves
1/3 c Tomato sauce
2 tb Half & half
1/4 c Unsalted butter
1/4 ts Thyme
1/8 ts Basil
1/8 ts Marjoram

Remove all the crab meat from the shells and set it aside.

Put half of the shells into a large pot with 4 qt water over high
heat. Add onion, 1 chopped celery rib, and garlic, then bring mixture
to a boil. Continue to boil for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. The
white part of the shells will start to become transparent. Then
strain stock. Discard the shells, onion, celery, and garlic, keeping
only the stock.

Measure 3 qt of the stock into a large sauce pan or cooking pot. If
you don't have enough stock, add enough water to make 3 qt.

Add potatoes, bring mixture to a boil, then add half of the crab and
the remaining ingredients to the pot and bring it back to boiling.
Reduce heat and simmer for 4 hours, uncovered until it reduces by
about half and starts to thicken. Add the remaining crab and simmer
for another hour until the soup is very thick.
