Sauté the Vegetables

1. Heat Oil: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Cook Aromatics: Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Build the Base

1. Add Tomato Paste: Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to caramelize slightly.
2. Pour in Wine: Add the white wine, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pot. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes to reduce slightly.
3. Incorporate Stock: Pour in the seafood stock and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Add the Seafood

1. Stir in Seasoning: Add the Worcestershire sauce and Old Bay seasoning. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
2. Add Shrimp: Once the soup is simmering, add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Fold in Crab: Gently fold in the crab meat and simmer for an additional 5 minutes.

Finish with Cream

1. Add Cream: Stir in the heavy cream and heat through, being careful not to boil.
2. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
