Clean and wash the spring onions. Cut the whites into rings. Put the (beautiful) green aside. Peel and roughly grate potatoes, carrots and celeriac, e.g. in a food processor.
Heat the butter in the soup pot and sauté the onion rings in it. Add the grated vegetables and sauté a little over low heat.
Rinse the celery, cut into slices and add. Pour in the vegetable stock and simmer for 15 minutes. In the meantime, cut the green of the spring onions into very fine rings.
Add the crème double, puree everything finely and cook for another 5 minutes in an open saucepan until the consistency is nice and creamy. Be careful that the soup does not stick.
Slightly season the soup with salt, pepper, nutmeg and lemon juice.
Mix the green onion rings and the crabs into the soup, except for a tablespoon each, and heat briefly. Spread on plates or soup bowls and sprinkle with the remaining shrimp and spring onion rings.
Tip:
At parties, I serve the prawns separately from the soup, as not everyone likes them.
Narrow strips of cooked ham are well suited as an alternative insert.
With four times the amount you get a 9-liter pot full. Warm up again carefully and stir often, as the soup sets up quickly.
The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
