This rich, creamy soup will knock you off your feet! Great as part of a large meal, but meaty enough to use as a full meal.

Time 30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 tablespoons butter
1 onion, chopped
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
3 cups half-and-half cream
1 teaspoon salt
1 ½ pounds peeled crawfish tails
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat, and cook and stir the onion until golden, about 8 minutes. Stir in the flour until smooth, and cook and stir the mixture until it turns a pale golden color, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps, then mix in the half-and-half, salt, crawfish tails, Worcestershire sauce, and cayenne pepper.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low, and continue whisking as soup comes to a simmer. Allow the bisque to simmer for about 5 minutes, until slightly thickened. Do not boil.

I added a cup of corn to my bisque, and it gave it a nice sweetness. I also used a roux instead of a cornstarch slurry to thicken the broth.

I'm allergic to shellfish, so I substituted chicken for the crawfish and shrimp. It turned out great!

This bisque was bland and lacked flavor. I would not recommend this recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my bisque turned out too thin. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This bisque was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper next time.

This bisque was easy to make and turned out great! I used frozen crawfish and shrimp, and it still had a lot of flavor. I served it with some crusty bread and a salad, and it was a perfect meal.

I've made this bisque several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The creamy broth is so flavorful, and the crawfish and shrimp add a nice touch of seafood flavor.

This crawfish bisque was a hit at my dinner party! The flavors were rich and complex, and the shrimp and crawfish added a nice depth of flavor. I'll definitely be making this again.
