Here’s another one of my favorite recipes that I would like to share around... it is

Crab and Asparagus Soup

3 tbsp butter (or oil)
1 tbsp garlic (chopped)
½ cup onions (chopped)
2 pinch black or white ground pepper (optional)
½ cup crab meat
1 cup asparagus (sliced)
¼ cup red bell pepper (diced)
2 tbsp butter (or oil)
¼ cup flour
2 ½ cups water
1 pc shrimp cube (optional)
1 pack cream (or all purpose cream)

Lets cook...

Sauté onions and garlic in butter.
Add in crab meat, asparagus and red bell peppers.
Cook for a minute.
Remove from heat and set aside.

Using the same pan, melt 2 tbsp butter.
Toss in flour and cook for a few seconds.
Remove from heat and blend in water, little by little, mixing well after each addition to prevent lumps from forming.
Return to heat.
Add in shrimp cube.
Bring to a boil.
Add in the cream and the sautéed crab-vegetable mixture plus add the black or white ground pepper.
Simmer for 5 minutes.
