Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup chopped yellow onions
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 (16-ounce) can hearts of palm, drained and chopped
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 3 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 pound lump crabmeat, picked over for shells and cartilage
- Salt and white pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
Directions
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onions and saute until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add the hearts of palm and stir to combine. Add the wine and bring to a boil. Cook until reduced by 1/2, about 3 minutes. Add the broth, stir to combine, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are very tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
Remove from the heat. Using an immersion blender or in batches in a food processor, puree the soup. Return to medium heat and add the cream. Stir in the crabmeat and cook until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Adjust the seasoning with salt and white pepper, to taste.
Ladle into bowls or cups, garnish with the parsley and serve.

Wow! This is a wonderful soup. If you are hesitant on whether to make it or not, think no more! The recipe is perfect, the only thing I substituted was the parsley for cilantro. I thought it would go better with this soup since it has crab. This is definitely going to be a soup I will make more often. Enjoy!

This soup has the most unique and wonderful flavor. I and my guests loved it. And, it's so easy to make. No seasonings needed as the flavor is strong and perfect without.
I did not add the crab as I had a smoked salmon dish on the menu, and that was enough "fish."

This soup is fabulous!! If you haven't tried hearts of palm you MUST! They have a flavor reminiscent of artichoke hearts, only not as strong! I added a 1 ince piece of fresh ginger, ground nutmeg and some dried rosemary...SO YUMMY!!!! Thanks Emeril!!!:
