Instructions:

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sauté until translucent and fragrant.
  2. Add the diced celery, carrots, and potatoes to the pot. Cook for a few minutes until they start to soften.
  3. Pour in the chicken or seafood broth and add the diced tomatoes with their juice. Drop in the bay leaf, dried thyme, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together.
  4. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  5. If you prefer a creamier soup, stir in the heavy cream or half-and-half and let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
  6. Gently fold in the crab meat into the soup, being careful not to break it up too much. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes to heat the crab through.
  7. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed.
  8. Remove the bay leaf from the pot.
  9. Serve the crab soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley for an added touch of color and flavor.
