Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth (you could also use an electric blender and puree in batches, returning the soup to the pot when it is pureed). 5. Add the heavy cream, red wine vinegar, and salt to the pot and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until heated all the way through. 6. Garnish with crab meat, if you reserved any, and/or a swirl of half and half if desired. 7. Enjoy!
