- Add Broth & Simmer: Slowly pour the broth into the pot while stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Let the mixture simmer on low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Blend Until Creamy: Using a hand blender, purée the soup until smooth. If using a regular blender, blend the soup in batches.
- Add Cream: Stir in the heavy cream and continue cooking for another 10 minutes until the soup thickens slightly.
- Add Seafood: Add the cooked crab meat and shrimp, along with sherry if desired. Cook for 5 more minutes on low heat, just until the seafood is warmed through. Avoid boiling to prevent curdling the cream.
- Season & Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve hot, garnishing with fresh herbs like parsley, dill, or thyme.
Serving Suggestions:
Pair this creamy seafood soup with a crusty loaf of bread or oyster crackers for a cozy meal. Perfect for a chilly evening or any seafood lover’s delight!
