The bisque is finished with a touch of cream, which gives it a rich and velvety texture. Served with a side of crusty bread, this shrimp and celery bisque is sure to be a hit at your next dinner party. Cook time for this dish is approximately 1 hour 15 minutes, and it makes enough to serve 8 people. The recipe also includes instructions for making homemade croutons, which are the perfect accompaniment to this soup. In addition to the main shrimp and celery bisque recipe, the article also includes recipes for two variations of the soup: a vegetarian bisque and a spicy bisque.
