Bisque Basics

Bisque is a thick, rich soup that usually consists of pureed seafood and cream. Poultry, vegetables or rice are sometimes also pureed. Bisque is quicker to serve than a traditional soup because it doesn’t have to simmer for hours.

I made this recipes and everybody loved it. I did however add raw rice at the start of the cooking process. Also fresh garlic and a little bit of crushed red pepper as well. Delicious!
