ONE-POT CREAMY CRAB SOUP

There's nothing not to love in this easy, rich, cream of crab soup recipe. This creamy base with loads of crab flavor makes a perfect starting soup for a larger meal. This 30-minute one-pot creamy crab soup is a bit on the filling side, so portions are small. What it is not lacking in any way is flavor, which it has to spare.

– 2 tablespoons of butter (salted or unsalted butter, whatever you have) – 1 small onion minced  – 12 fresh garlic cloves, sliced – 2 red bell pepper, chopped – 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour (see notes for gluten-free options) – 2 bay leaves (optional) – 3 cups heavy cream – 3 cups of whole milk – 3 cups of vegetable broth – 2 pound [0.9 kg] of fresh lump crabmeat, clean of cartilage and shell pieces – 1 ½ teaspoon salt, (or to taste) – ¼ teaspoon freshly-cracked black pepper (or to taste) – 3 tablespoons of minced fresh parsley
