Method

1

In a large saucepan melt the butter and 1 tablespoon of the oil and fry the onion, celery, squash and 2 of the garlic cloves for 7-10 minutes, or until the onion is very soft and golden.

2

Stir in the marmalade, tomatoes and stock. Bring to a boil and simmer for 30-35 minutes until all the vegetables are tender.

3

Cool and then liquidise the soup in a food processor or blender or with a hand-held blender. Stir in the cream, adjust the seasoning and return to the saucepan to reheat gently.

4

Brush the ciabatta toasts with the remaining olive oil and garlic clove. Stir the parsley and chilli or pepper into the crab meat and fork a little onto each ciabatta toast. Top each bowl of soup with some crab croutes before serving.
