Instructions
In a 5- to 6- quart pan over high heat, stir onions and celery in butter until limp, about 5 minutes.
Add tomato paste and curry powder, and stir 1 minute longer.
Add squash, apples, broth, 4 cups water, ginger, bay leaf, cloves, and pepper. Stirring often, bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until squash mashes easily, 30 to 40 minutes.
Remove and discard bay leaf and cloves. In a blender or food processor, whirl squash mixture, a portion at a time, until smooth.
Pour pure through a fine strainer back into pan.
Add sherry and stir over medium heat until just steaming, about 2 minutes.
Meanwhile, remove any bits of shell from crab.
Ladle soup into wide bowls. Mound equal portions of crab in the center of each bowl.
Garnish with bell pepper, if desired.
