To decrease the amount of sodium I used low sodium chicken brooth. This was excelent and I plan on making it again this week.

I used the whole container of crab, added a tablespoon of salt, and a little extra cheese! Delicious!

It was bland. Should have added more of something to it. My husband didn't like it.

Delicious! The only thing I did different was I used a couple of red skinned potatoes instead of the leeks, canned evaporated milk instead of half and half and I doubled the recipe!!!! It turned out wonderful. Thanks for sharing! I think it would be really good with assorted seafood in it, like scallops, shrimp, cod and crab! You can never have to much seafood!! YUM!!!

I fully expected, and really wanted, to love this recipe. As written, we found it rather bland and "one note." The crab flavor definitely got lost in the shuffle. After investing time, effort and some $$ in making this as written, I wasn't williing to give up on it without a fight. :-) I did a lot of tweaking and it tasted a lot better. I do appreciate the contribution, though ... I found the recipe to be very forgiving of additions and tweaking. Thank you!

I rate this recipe a 4 only because to be fair, I added my own flair to it. I added about 1/2 lb of USA shrimp because to me it's meat is firmer, tastier, sweeter, and it keeps Americans working. So what it's a little higher in cost, it's worth it. Next, I added about a teaspoon of cayenne and fresher cracked Tellicherry black pepper. To die for.. I soaked the shrimp in 1 tbs of crab boil for a little added sweetness and flavor and put iit in along with the crab meat at the very end and let the heated bisque cook the shrimp and crab. Awesome. Enjoy y'all, i'm sure it is excellent without my additions... I just can't help myself... I can hardly wait to make this again. Oops, almost forgot, I also added about 2 tbs of tomato paste....yummy.

It is good, but I don't see that the crab adds much. YTou could easily add chicken or turkey instead.
