My review
Crabmeat Bisque Made Easy
2
Tammye S Green
"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."

We all felt this recipe lacked flavor and wasn’t your usual crab bisque. We ended up doctoring it up with some sherry and lots of Old Bay, and black pepper.

Very rich and delicious! For the stock I used shells from crayfish, then used shrimp in place of crabmeat. I’ll definitely make it again.
