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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh seafood: The fresher the crab and oysters, the better your bisque will taste. If you can't find fresh seafood, you can use frozen, but make sure it's thawed and drained before using.
  • Don't overcook the seafood: Crab and oysters cook quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. Otherwise, they will become tough and rubbery.
  • Use a good quality white wine: The white wine you use in your bisque will add flavor and depth to the dish. Choose a dry white wine that you would enjoy drinking on its own.
  • Make sure your bisque is thick and creamy: The bisque should be thick and creamy, but not too thick. If it's too thick, you can add a little milk or cream. If it's too thin, you can simmer it for a few minutes longer or add a cornstarch slurry.
  • Serve your bisque with your favorite toppings: Crab and oyster bisque is often served with a variety of toppings, such as croutons, chopped parsley, and grated Parmesan cheese.

Conclusion:

Crab and oyster bisque is a delicious and elegant soup that is perfect for a special occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make a crab and oyster bisque that will impress your friends and family.
