Remy's Creamy Onion and Potato Bisque

Submitted by BBQ MIKE

"This recipe is out of a cajun cookbook (Dat Cajun Cookbook by Chef Remy) that my wife and I bought in New Orleans. This recipe is very easy to put together and is great as a main dish. Don't leave out the liquid crab boil which gives this tasty bisque its unique flavor."
