Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 yellow onion, finely chopped
• 4 stalks celery, cut into 1/4-inch slices
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme
• Salt and ground black pepper, to taste
• 7 potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
• 2 cups whole milk
• 1 (15 ounce) can fish broth
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 (8 ounce) bottle clam juice
• 1 pounds Dungeness crab meat, chopped

Directions

Step 1: Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion, celery, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir and cook until the onion and celery start to soften, about 5 minutes.

Step 2: Add potatoes, milk, fish broth, heavy cream, and clam juice to the pot. Stir to combine, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook until the potatoes are soft, approximately 10 minutes.

Step 3: Once the potatoes are soft, pour the soup mixture into a blender in batches (no more than half full). Secure the lid and pulse a few times before blending until smooth.

Step 4: Return the pureed soup back to the pot. Stir in the chopped Dungeness crab meat. Let the soup cook for another 5 minutes or until heated through.

Step 5: Taste and season with additional salt and pepper as desired.
