SHRIMP BISQUE



Shrimp Bisque image

I enjoy both Cajun and Mexican cuisine, and this rich, elegant soup combines the best of both. I serve it with a crispy green salad and glass of white wine for a simple but very special meal.-Karen Harris, Castle Rock, Colorado

NEW ORLEANS SHRIMP & SQUASH BISQUE (TREASURE TROVE #2)



New Orleans Shrimp & Squash Bisque (Treasure Trove #2) image

From my long-lost treasure trove of recipes newly found. While we love homemade soups in Iceland, I cannot make this as I have not seen a squash here in nearly 4 yrs. This is very low-cal & low-fat, but I will have to rely on you RZ chefs to tell me if it is as good as it looks to me. As w/TrTr #1, my best guess is this was prob a Food Network recipe. Enjoy!
