  • RELISH
  • 1 small avocado, finely diced
  • 1 cup frozen whole-kernel corn, thawed
  • 1 medium tomato, seeded, finely diced
  • 1 Tbsp lime juice
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • BISQUE
  • 1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup frozen whole-kernel corn, thawed
  • 1 cup chopped onions
  • 1 cup diced yellow bell peppers
  • 1-1/2 cups diced peeled russet potatoes
  • 3/4 tsp paprika + extra for garnish
  • 1 cup dry sherry
  • 2 cups seafood stock or low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 cups 2% milk
  • (12 oz) Frozen or Canned crabmeat, drained if necessary
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Directions

  1. To Prepare Relish:
  2. Combine avocado, corn, tomato, lime juice, salt and pepper in a small bowl; toss to coat. Set aside and let stand at room temperature while you prepare the bisque.
  3. To Prepare Bisque:
  4. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add corn, onion and bell pepper; cook, stirring often, until the onion and pepper have softened, about 5 minutes. Add in the potato and paprika; cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes. Add in sherry and cook, scraping up any browned bits until liquid has reduced slightly, about 5 minutes. Add in the broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are very tender, about 15 minutes.
  5. Working in two batches, puree the vegetable mixture in a blender or food processor. Return puree to saucepan; stir in milk, crab and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve each portion of bisque with about 1/4 cup relish; sprinkle with additional paprika, if desired.
