Very Easy Seafood Bisque

"I make this every Christmas because my whole family requests it. It's SO flavorful and tastes outstanding. This is a great comfort food as well as a zesty, creamy meal perfect for entertaining. I use canned crabmeat and it's great. I found that adding salt makes it too salty."

  1. Quick, Simple and delicious. Loved it -- however, I am not a big pepper fan, I used 1/2 a pepper. I also like my bisque creamy so before adding the seafood (I used crab and shrimp) I used my hand blender to 'puree' the veggies in it. Loved the taste of the alfredo and tomato with the seafood. Was a hit at home and at work.
     
  2. We loved this seafood bisque. Rich and creamy...just the way we like it. Another bonus is it is so easy to prepare. I served a garden salad and bread along side and we had a wonderful meal. Hubby insists that I make it again. Thanks KadesMom, this really hit the spot.
     
  3. I really thought I was going to like this, but after making I was disappointed. I really didn't care for the combonation of the tomato sauce and the alfredo sauce. It had a sweet creaminess that was too over the top. If I make this again I won't add the alfredo... I couldn't eat a whole bowl it was way too rich.

We have 2 little boys that keep us very busy. Many recipes I save are fast and easy:) I love to cook though, so I'm always looking for new recipes, including recipes that take time. LOVE this website! I love to cook, read, write and spend time with my family. We love the outdoors, including the winter when we get tons of snow. We're also owners of a coffee/icecream/gift/deli shoppe. We live in a tourist town surrounded by many lakes. Taste Of Home magazine is a favorite of mine and now recipezaar is a favorite too. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg">
