"This crab bisque goes together quickly and tastes great! From the R. S. V. P. section of an April 1982 issue of Bon Appetit magazine. It was requested from Cooper's Seafood House in Scranton, Pennsylvania."

    I have been making this recipe for years. I double it and I don't leave anything out. The wine is the most important ingredient to make this taste like the restaurant soup. I do use full fat milk and I add an extra bit of flour to make it thicker but otherwise I followed the recipe exactly. Enjoy!

    Coopers has the best crab bisque anywhere. Thanks for posting it. I have been looking for this from this magazine for years as I knew it was there. We drive 2 hours just to get this soup. Sure hope mine tastes as good as it does at the restaurant...
