Ingredients
 

  • 1 kg Potatoes
  • 2 piece Carrots
  • 1 piece Leek
  • 1 piece Onion
  • 1 liter Vegetable broth
  • 200 ml Cream
  • 100 g Crabs
  • 2 piece Spring onions
  • Salt, pepper & nutmeg
  • Clarified butter
  • Butter

Instructions
 

  • Peel the potatoes, carrots and onions and cut into cubes. Clean and wash the leek and cut into rings. I don't use the green part of the leek, otherwise the soup will be very dark.
  • Heat the butter lard in a large saucepan and sweat the onion cubes in it over medium heat until translucent. Add the rest of the vegetables and sauté over low heat for about 10 minutes.
  • Pour in the broth and cook the vegetables until soft in 20 minutes.
  • Add the cream, bring to the boil briefly and puree with a hand blender. Season to taste with nutmeg, salt and pepper. Keep warm.
  • Wash and clean the spring onions and cut diagonally into fine rolls. Heat the butter in a pan and toss the spring onions in it. Add the crabs and heat.
  • Pour the soup into deep plates and add the crab and spring onion mixture.
