6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter
1 large onion, finely chopped

1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
Two 13 3/4-ounce cans reduced-sodium chicken broth

1. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the onion and celery and cover. Cook until the vegetables are tender but not browned, about 10 minutes. Stir in the flour. Cook, uncovered, stirring often, without browning the flour, for 1 minute.

2. Gradually whisk in the broth, clam juice, sherry, and tomato paste. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and partially cover the saucepan with the lid. Simmer, stirring often, until the bisque is lightly thickened, about 10 minutes. (The bisque can be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead, cooled, covered, and refrigerated. Reheat to simmering before proceeding. If the bisque is too thick, thin with additional chicken broth.)

3. Add the crab and the cream, increase the heat to medium, and cook just until very hot--do not boil. Season the bisque with the salt and hot sauce. Serve hot in soup bowls, sprinkling each serving with parsley.
