Ingredients
Scale
- 4 sourdough bread bowls
- 1 lb mixed seafood (shrimp, crab, scallops)
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 cups seafood broth
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the bread bowls: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Cut the tops off the sourdough bread bowls and hollow out the insides, leaving about 1-inch of bread along the sides.
- Cook the soup base: In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Make the roux: Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
- Add the broth and seafood: Slowly whisk in the seafood broth, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Add the mixed seafood (shrimp, crab, and scallops) and let it cook for 5-7 minutes.
- Finish the soup: Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the soup simmer for an additional 5 minutes until thickened.
- Prepare the bread bowls: Place the hollowed-out bread bowls on a baking sheet and ladle the soup into each one.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the bread bowls are golden brown and crispy.
- Garnish and serve: Remove the bread bowls from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute mixed seafood with just one type, such as shrimp or scallops, if preferred.
- For a thicker soup, increase the amount of flour or reduce the broth slightly.
