      Title: Crab & Irish Whiskey Bisque
 Categories: Seafood, Booze, Herbs, Soups, Vegetables
      Yield: 4 servings
 
  1 1/2 lb Crab shells and legs; rinsed
           - lg pieces broken in halves
    1/2 c  Irish whiskey or cognac
     20 oz Can diced tomatoes
      2 tb Tomato paste
      1 lg Yellow onion; chopped
      1 lg Carrot; chopped
     15    Black peppercorns
      3    Sprigs parsley
      3    Sprigs thyme
      2    Bay leaves
      5 dr Tabasco sauce
           Salt
           Toasted bread; for serving
 
  In a heavy-bottomed pot over high heat, add the crab
  shells and whiskey. Cook until most of the liquid has
  evaporated, about 6 minutes. Quickly add the tomatoes,
  tomato paste, onion, carrot, peppercorns, parsley,
  thyme, bay leaves, and enough water to just cover the
  shells (about 8 cups); stir. Bring to a low boil and
  cook for 25 minutes, then reduce to a low simmer and
  cook for 1 hour.
  
  Strain the liquid and reserve; remove the crab shells,
  bay leaves, and thyme sprigs from the solids and
  discard. Transfer the remaining solids and the liquid to
  a blender and blend until very smooth.
  
  Transfer the soup back to the pot to reheat as needed.
  Add the Tabasco if using, and season with 1/2 tsp.
  kosher salt, or more to taste. Serve with toasted bread.
  
  Yield: serves 4
