SMOKED SALMON BISQUE RECIPE



Smoked Salmon Bisque Recipe image

What makes a bisque a bisque and not a chowder? Both bisques and chowders are made with seafood and vegetables, with a cream base. Chowders tend to be more stew-like or chunky, and bisques puréed. Bisques are traditionally made with shellfish, though these days a puréed tomato, cream-based soup can be called a bisque too. We half-puréed this smoked salmon bisque, which accounts for the photograph. I made this delicious soup the other day after being inspired by a bisque we had at a local bistro and wine bar. So creamy and good.
