all nestled within a toasted sourdough bread bowl. Here’s how to prepare this delightful dish:
Ingredients:
For the Soup:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter 🧈
1 medium onion, finely chopped 🧅
2 cloves garlic, minced 🧄
1/4 cup all-purpose flour 🌾
3 cups seafood stock 🦞🍲
1 cup heavy cream 🥛
1/2 cup dry white wine 🍷 (optional)
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning 🌿
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika 🌶️
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional) 🌶️
1/2 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined 🍤
1/2 pound lump crab meat 🦀
1/2 pound scallops, cleaned and patted dry 🐚
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped 🌿
Salt and pepper, to taste 🧂
For the Bread Bowls:
4 large crusty sourdough bread rolls 🥖
2 tablespoons olive oil 🫒
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 🧄
Instructions:
1️⃣ Prepare the Bread Bowls:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). 🔥
Slice off the top of each bread roll and hollow out the center to create a bowl, leaving about 1/2 inch of bread around the sides. 🍞
Brush the inside of each bread bowl with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder. 🧄🖌️
Place the bread bowls on a baking sheet and toast in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. This helps prevent them from becoming soggy when filled with soup. 🍞🔥
2️⃣ Prepare the Seafood Soup:
In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. 🧈🔥
Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. 🧅🍲
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant. 🧄🍲
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, stirring constantly to form a roux. Cook for 2-3 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste. 🌾🥄
Gradually whisk in the seafood stock until smooth, then add the heavy cream and dry white wine (if using). Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. 🦞🍲🥛🍷🔥
Season the soup with Old Bay seasoning, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if desired), salt, and pepper. 🌿🌶️🧂
Add the shrimp, crab meat, and scallops to the pot. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the seafood is cooked through and tender. 🍤🦀🐚🔥
Stir in the chopped fresh parsley and adjust seasoning to taste. 🌿🥄
3️⃣ Assemble and Serve:
Ladle the hot seafood soup into the prepared bread bowls. 🍲🥖
Serve immediately, garnished with additional parsley if desired. Enjoy! 🌿🍽️
