CHEAP AND EASY CRAB BISQUE



Cheap and Easy Crab Bisque image

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.

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.
