CRABMEAT BISQUE MADE EASY
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.

CHEAP AND EASY CRAB BISQUE
I was at a restaurant and they were serving red pepper crab bisque and it was so delicious, so I came home and made my own version of it. Real crab can be a little pricey so I used imitation, not as good but a lot more healthy for my budget. I loved how it turned out and I hope you do too! It's great served in a bread bowl or eaten with buttered Portuguese rolls.

Steps:
- 1. In a large sauce pan over medium heat, combine cream of mushroom soup & asparagus soup. Stir in milk & light cream. Heat just until boiling. Add crab meat & continue to heat. Stir in cooking sherry just before serving. Pour into individual bowls and float a pat of butter on top of each serving while still hot. Garnish with chopped parsley or chopped chives. Makes 6-8 servings depending on appetite.
Tips:
- Use fresh crab meat for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh crab, frozen crab meat will also work, but it won't have as much flavor.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables. This recipe calls for carrots, celery, and onion, but you could also add other vegetables like potatoes, corn, or zucchini.
- Be careful not to overcook the crab meat. Crab meat is very delicate, so it's important to cook it just until it's heated through. Otherwise, it will become tough and rubbery.
- Serve the bisque immediately. Crab bisque is best enjoyed fresh and hot. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Just be sure to reheat it gently before serving.
Conclusion:
Crab bisque is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that's perfect for a special occasion or a casual meal. With its creamy texture and rich flavor, this soup is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying soup, give this crab bisque recipe a try.
