Crab Bisque The Easy Way Recipes

CRABMEAT BISQUE MADE EASY

Crabmeat Bisque Made Easy image

This is not a thick soup, yet it is creamy and so smooth to the palette. The aroma when cooking makes you want some before the potatoes are soft. I have made modifications due to allergy to corn (such as rice flour). I allow mine to slow-simmer with lid slightly ajar. Stir often so the film does not form on top. I have doubled my batch and still never have any for the freezer.

So easy, so good. Great on a winter night. I tend to add more old bay seasoning, salt and pepper after tasting.
