Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Marinate the crab meat: In a bowl, mix the crab meat, 2 tablespoons of herbs, half a teaspoon of lemon zest and half a lemon juice, add salt and pepper, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
  2. Prepare croutons: In another bowl, combine the remaining lemon zest and juice with the olive oil. Add the diced bread, season with salt and pepper, and toss to combine. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet and add the bread. Cook over medium-high heat until golden brown, about 7 minutes.

  3. Prepare vegetables: Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan, add the leek, and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the potatoes and fennel bulb and continue cooking for another 7 minutes. Pour in the wine, add 2 teaspoons of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper, and simmer for another 2 minutes. Add 5 cups of water and 1/2 cup of herbs, bring to a boil, and simmer over low heat until tender, about 20 minutes.

Return to the pan, add the cream, and simmer for 5-10 minutes, then add the remaining herbs. Ladle the soup into bowls, add the crab meat, pour the marinade over them, and top with croutons.
