Broccoli Crab Bisque image

"For a casual company meal, I serve this creamy soup along with miniature ham sandwiches," writes Karen Balistrieri from Oconomowoc, Wisconsin. "Sometimes we leave the bay leaf in the soup as a sign of good luck for the person who gets it in their bowl," she adds.

This bisque was just okay. It was easy to make, but the flavor was a bit bland. I think I would have preferred it with more seasoning.

This bisque was a bit too time-consuming to make. I had to chop a lot of vegetables, and it took a while to cook the crab. I think I would have preferred a recipe that was a bit easier to make.

I found this bisque to be a bit bland. I think it needed more seasoning. I added some salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and it was much better.

This bisque was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less cream. The flavor was good, but it was just too heavy for me.

I've made this bisque several times now, and it's always a hit. It's so creamy and flavorful, and the crab meat adds a nice briny flavor. I like to serve it with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of chopped chives.

This was a delicious and easy-to-make bisque. I used fresh broccoli and crab, and the flavor was amazing. I served it with a side of crusty bread, and it was the perfect meal for a cold winter night.
