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.
